This book was like a rollercoaster ride. I loved following along with the characters' highs and lows, and feeling both empathy and anger towards them in the process. Their voices on the page sounded so organic that it felt as if I'd been familiar with the group all my life. Each character had an interesting perspective of events, and even when they disagreed on which actions had actually transpired, I always felt like I could believe that their intentions and emotions were true. Many of the passages in this book tugged at my heart, and felt sadly relatable.

The copy of this book that I read was borrowed from my younger sister, who underlined and drew hearts around some statements about womanhood and love and Daisy's refusal to be used or made into a muse. I love that through reading it, I got to learn more about perspectives she valued. We both look forward to watching the series adapting this title, and I highly recommend reading the book beforehand. The unique storytelling method and the skillfully written words the characters utilize to both hide behind and open themselves up are worth the time and effort it takes to read them. I began reading this book immediately after waking up at seven this morning, and didn't put it down until I finished it in the mid-afternoon. It's really that engaging.

“I had absolutely no interest in being someone else’s muse.
I am not a muse.
I am the somebody.
End of the fucking story.”

my favorite things about this novel were the format and the characters!! 
it was a super interesting way to tell a story and i felt like the characters had a lot of depth. there was no bad or good guy. the author did a great job at showing you each character’s motivations and opinions so that you could understand everyone. 
furthermore, i loved seeing their songwriting process and the lyrics, i would die to listen to aurora!!
it was a super fun experience and i think i will definitely reread it in the future!
