The last 20% of this book is soo good, again i cant really put it into words but so much is happening and its all coming to a head and its just beautiful (makes me cry but it’s beautiful and i wouldnt change it)
Billy’s monologue (idk if its actually that but idk what else to call it) after the band talks about the SNL performance will probably always be one of my fave bits of text, the emotions in it are unmatched and no man will ever top it
Rereading it once you know who the narrator/author is really gives so many different bits so much more emotions when added to the context its just so good
Full cast which I loved as it really brought the characters to life and you really felt the emotions from them, especially from Billy (which left me crying in public several times)
I won't lie there are about 10 different POVs which does get confusing at first, especially if the character didn't introduce themselves before they started speaking, however having so many really gave you the insight of why the band fell apart and kept me hooked as the different pieces started to fall into place
If you have access to the audiobook version I can't recommend it enough
