I listened to this while in COVID quarantine and loved the characters and style of “documentary” narrative that felt so real even if it was all fiction. Camila was the real hero of the story. All the different actors who read each voice were great. Big theme of the story is love, addiction, family, and finding your passion on a back drop of sex, drugs, and rock n roll. Would highly recommend!

if you’re interested in the music industry, the 1970s, celebrity life etc then you’ll probably enjoy it; I didn’t really care about the plot or any of the characters but I guess I‘m just really not the target audience - doesn’t mean it’s not a good book (for someone else)

Although that’s exactly what I thought I‘d say about TSHOEH and I ended up loving that book, which is why I gave this one a chance

I really enjoyed this. It did take a while for me to get into, I don't think it was as easy for me to get into as TJR's other work. The narrative style was very unique and I enjoyed that change, particularly the element of very biased and unreliable narrators. 
I felt that the female voices in this were given a platform. Three completely different women finding their place in the world and happiness, that so clearly not being the same for each of them and all of the pain and struggles they went through to get there. 
Some of the characters were not very likeable and their attitudes really played into the dynamic of the band, I appreciated this aspect because I feel like this was much more realistic than them all being happy and friendly all the time. 
While reading it, I felt like it could genuinely have been a memoir, the line between fiction and real life felt very blurred. 
While I really enjoyed this, there are other TJR books that I enjoyed more.

I greatly enjoyed reading this book, so why the low rating? The writing concept was really good, it was great even, but the execution was a bit sloppy at times. ALSO only having one account of Pete, the bassist squeezed in at the very end??? I thought he died before the books interview. And the fact he lived irked me. Yeah I cried and it was a very tumultuous journey and it felt so real i had to look up whether they were a real band or not (the answer: not until the show came out). That's all i have to say about it. Cool stuff.
