I listened to the audiobook version of this, which was fantastic. The voice actors really did a phenomenal job, and although there were a few times I didn’t know what character was speaking, the ensemble cast was perfect.

As for the book itself… this is like flipping the channel and watching a documentary about a band you’ve never heard of. And watching hours of it because you’re mildly curious and you’re too lazy to change the channel. I felt myself wishing that I was listening to the actual music/album instead of watching the documentary about it.

This is a slow build. The first half of the book took me a really long time to get through. I didn’t really care too much for the characters, and it wasn’t until the second half where I started to feel a bit more invested - and where hearing the different characters’ perspectives added depth to the story. By the last quarter of the book, I started to care about Daisy, Billy, Camila, and Karen but then it ends.

It’s a decent read but just wished I had enjoyed it more, especially given the hype.

I liked the audiobook and all the different voice actors, although it was hard to keep track who was who at first. The book was a little slow but mainly interesting. I did really like the ending,

with the author reveal

but was kind of sad about

the two deaths at the end

. The very last bit of the ending was bittersweet

telling Billy to go find daisy again

I didn't think this book would be for me but I gave it a go any way due to all the positive reviews and..how wrong was I?! Getting whisked away into the land of rock 'n' roll was such an insightful, entertaining and emotional ride. The best thing about it was every character with their different perspectives and experiences seemed like they existed in reality. I couldn't put it down...absolutely worth the hype!

Wow - Perfect for music lovers and lovers of rock n roll! Super cool concept for a novel as well to tell it from the perspective of each band member. My only critique is I would have loved more interjections to understand their motives even more, but the book contains such beautiful and poignant quotes and I saved to reread someday.
