I enjoyed this book very much. The audiobook format really sold it for me. The plot was entertaining, and the dialogue was engaging. It felt like watching the documentary of a famous band after they’ve broken up. I’m motivated to watch the Amazon prime series after finishing.

She had done it once again. Taylor Jenkins Reid completely blew my mind while destroying me in the process. Also, the fact that everyone is an unreliable narrator since they're all telling the story from their own perspective – amazing!🤯🤩

while the idea behind this book is a fun one, it felt like it was building up to something only for there to be absolutely no pay off. no dramatic blow out, daisy and billy don’t even end up together (not that i wanted them to but it would’ve made sense). it just kind of. ended. i suppose that makes it appear more realistic but it was just kind of a let down. it didn’t give me something to care about or root for.

This book REALLY surprised me since the plot didn’t really sound like something I’d love. I was pretty sure going into it that this book that it just wasn’t going to be for me be I was quickly captivated by literally every character. They all had such strong clear voices and identities even through the interview style of writing. This book was devastating in a way I wasn’t expecting. I went in this book thinking it was a cute romance but I got a raw book about every emotion out there. I used to study addictions counseling so this book felt really personal and I felt my heart break many times. By the end of it I was in tears and I can’t remember the last time a book made me cry. Just so beautiful. There’s nothing I didn’t like about this book and not one thing I would change. I was halfway through the book before I realized it’s a fake band (I didn’t read the back I just trusted the hype lmao)
