I liked the audiobook and all the different voice actors, although it was hard to keep track who was who at first. The book was a little slow but mainly interesting. I did really like the ending,
with the author reveal
but was kind of sad about
the two deaths at the end
. The very last bit of the ending was bittersweet
telling Billy to go find daisy again

Wow - Perfect for music lovers and lovers of rock n roll! Super cool concept for a novel as well to tell it from the perspective of each band member. My only critique is I would have loved more interjections to understand their motives even more, but the book contains such beautiful and poignant quotes and I saved to reread someday.

So glad this was an audiobook read! The different voices were definitely entertaining to go back and forth between and tied together the story so it felt like a documentary of the band. I’ve never had an audiobook with a full cast like this and it made so much sense within the structure of each person reflecting on the past. 

Two parts that stuck with me share the same feeling - Karen talking about soulmates and Billy talking about fire/water in relation to passion/love. 

Karen: “I used to think soul mates were two of the same. I used to think I was supposed to look for somebody that was like me. I don't believe in soul mates anymore and I'm not looking for anything. But if I did believe in them, I'd believe your soul mate was somebody who had all the things you didn't, that needed all the things you had.”

Billy: “Passion is...it's fire. And fire is great, man. But we're made of water. Water is how we keep living. Water is what we need to survive. My family was my water. I picked water. I’ll pick water every time.” 

I think these two parts resonate with my idea of love - that love needs to be something that sustains you with someone who is a soul-match. 

For me, the whole story really came together at the very end when the narrator’s identity is revealed. The moment when Camilla cares for Daisy but also protects her marriage and her family by drawing a line in the sand for her to leave the band was SO well done. She truly wanted the best for Daisy but was completely honest in her unwillingness to surrender and sacrifice her marriage and future. Her advice, just like it did for Daisy, will stick with me for a long time… “Don’t count yourself out this early. You’re all sorts of things you don’t even know yet.” 

I’m excited to watch the show and see how the story truly comes to life on film!
