I haven’t enjoyed a book like this is a while. Can’t get over how immersive it was and how REAL it all feels. The way it’s written literally makes it feel like these are your memories you are reliving and that you are a reader eager to find out about the history of your favourite band.
The last two sections were so unbelievable and heartbreaking and soooo so good plot wise and character wise and I think I will be thinking about this book and the impact it’s had on me creatively for a whole.
The story telling was SO unique and gripping and I loved the use of all the characters as unreliable narrators collective creating a conceivable narrative.
can’t really say much more because quite speechless at the moment but just know that if you’re choosing between books/need sometime to get you inspired again READ THIS
