Wow. I really wasn’t expecting this book. It was beautiful and heartbreaking. The writing was like a masterclass in dialogue, and the character development, both good and bad, was subtle but profound. I’m really awestruck by this book. And I’m so happy I listened to the audiobook. Often times I feel that an audiobook can only be as good as the physics copy, and usually makes up for in ease of use what it falls short of in quality. However, I don’t think I would have enjoyed the story the same way had I read it on the page. The use of a cast with different voices but such raw emotional voice acting really made this book shine. Of course, when dialogue is written as well and as realistically as Reid writes, it’s hard to imagine an audiobook like this falling short. 

And the story was really stunning. My favourite love stories are the ones that never happen. They are heartbreaking in their incomplete state, but leave no cliffs to hang from. 

Anyway, in other words, I loved this book. What a privilege to have gotten to read it.

I love Taylor Jenkins Rieds style so much in this. It had me laughing and crying and portrayed addiction in a informed and responsible way.

This book is written like a documentary and it may take time getting use to it. If you love music and tension then this book is for you. I love how the author put the lyrics of the songs in the album at the end of the book, the lyrics were amazing. It kinda made me sad because it doesn't actually exist. The characters were flawed, none of them were perfect which makes them realistic and a great character. I love it when a character is not perfect. I love how Taylor (the author) portrayed the four main girls to different mindsets of a woman. They were so different but at the same time similar.
