incredible character building and arc. dynamic, deep and strong women who are all distinct in their different lifestyles and identities. in depth view of addiction and the constant challenges it poses as one becomes sober. <spoilers> not quite on board with the infidelity/adultery. <spoilers> thoroughly enjoyed the other parts of this novel

5.0

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)

I started seeing the ads for the show everywhere, and the overall aesthetic definitely intrigued me so I picked up the book to read before diving into the show.

From the start, I can agree with lots of other reviewers on here when they said it was hard to get into due the the interview-esque writing style. I felt like I couldn’t immerse myself fully into the story, or completely understand the characters. I wish the author would’ve spliced in scenes from the past, written regularly from maybe Daisy or Billy’s POV (or even the other band mates) to take a break from the interviews and allow us to experience their story while it happened. It was really slow for me up until the halfway point then it picks up.

I loved Daisy and Karen the most.

I also think the reveal of the interviewer being Julia left me with the question of did maybe Billy or Daisy lie about anything as to conceal the truth from Camilla and Billy’s daughter? Such as IF they might’ve taken things farther? Because to me, I understand them lusting for each other but to call it love when they had never even been together more than an ‘almost’ kiss….meh I don’t buy it. It’s honestly quite sad. I feel most sad for Camilla tbh. Like here you are raising this man’s 3 children and you know he’s infatuated with his co-singer. And she just stays with him? Billy didn’t deserve either of those women.

Overall, a decent read! I’m really excited to start the show now and see what’s the same/what they changed from the book.
