This is the first time I have read a book in this type of interview formatting and I found it interesting. It was hard and confusing to get into at first as I was listening to it but slowly I got the hang of it and familiarised myself with the casts’ voice. I liked the storyline and how it is very much character driven and the characters have great developments throughout the story and I liked how they have real problems that real musicians may be experiencing in their careers. If I’m a musician, I would feel seen and less alone when reading this book. 
I did not rate it higher as this type of realism genre is not my go-to genre. I prefer more plot-driven novel. However, I can recognise and appreciate the comfort and elements of this type of genre provide. It is a great story overall.

I enjoyed the creativity of the format, and thought it was both well executed and well written. The twist was random and unnecessary. I also hated almost all of the female characters in this book. Daisy is an insufferably conceited manic pixie dream girl who treats others horribly but is hailed as a princess nonetheless because she’s “broken” and “beautiful.” I dreaded returning to her narration. I also did not love Camila’s

decision to go back to Billy after he cheated on her. While she was one of the strongest, most enjoyable characters, I felt like she deserved so much better than to be stuck serving as Billy’s own personal saint, and her whole arc sent the wrong message about staying in a relationship out of love, no matter how toxic or abusive it is.

I guess my overall conclusion would be that for a book written by a woman, its representation of its female characters felt like it was created by a man.
