Such an interesting format and it works well!! I like how the characters, no matter how little or how much they speak, have a life of their own. Very much a showing rather than telling novel. I like how complex the characters are and how it very much did feel rock'n'roll.

I know that they are reading as the book is written, but for some parts, it was difficult to track who is speak and who is who.

TJR can definitely write a book. There was so much I enjoyed about this book; the writing was incredible and it held my interest the entire time. But, it didn't give me that 5 star feeling and I think that's down to the themes not being for me.

I feel like what made me enjoy this book was the fact that I listened to it on audiobook. I enjoyed hearing different voices share different perspectives. I couldn’t imagine reading it and trying to keep all these random people straight in my head. I really just didn’t see this incredible and earth shattering connection and romance that Daisy and Billy allegedly shared. I understand that the characters are supposed to be unreliable and biased, since it’s first had retellings, but it just made it hard to believe that this connection existed in the way it was being hyped up as.
