Wow super interesting, I don't really care about music industry stereotypes so I almost stopped reading after the first couple sections when it felt like we were just going from one toxic person's story to the next, but I became invested once everything started coming together and I understood the points of connection. It was halfway through, during Dolly's story, that I started to really like this book... Hot oil celebrity burns incident was just so absurd.

Variety of narrators

This book was great and I find it hard to describe. I loved the way Egan gave a new narrator for every chapter, but with overlapping characters throughout. It just kept me totally invested and feeling like a detective, while a bit unbalanced and confused.

insane. i’m not usually one to reread books, but i’m looking forward to revisiting this down the road

Very confusing. Couldn't follow all the characters.

It is a well written book. I could see myself recommending it to people. But, I didn't feel a close connection to the book.
