I was expecting big things after reading Evelyn Hugo, but this book didn’t catch my interest at all.
Got about halfway through and gave up.

❤️ camila, karen, daisy and simone ❤️

reread: this book drove me even more insane the second time around

this book was so fun to read until it made me so incredibly sad?? daisy and billy made me feel so many things at once they are INSANE. also, i never wanted to listen to a fictional album so bad in my entire life

Feels so almost famous coded!
Don’t want to finish. 
Don’t want Billy to cheat on Camilla; however, also kinda want Billy + Daisy
TJR fucking knows her shit how to write yearning ohhhh girl
Don’t want to finish!!!
Omg the interviewer is Julia!
I fucking love this book. 

Sooo good. It’s filled with such a deep complexity of feeling. It feels so real. 

Warren is my spirit animal. 

Really enjoyed this! I like that both this and Evelyn Hugo felt like incredibly well-researched novels about the history of different industries in America. I thought the interview format was really well done and I liked the contrast between Billy and Daisy's stories - how they clash and complement each other made it super interesting.
