The set up of the book took me by surprise. I actually had no idea what i was getting into. I loved the storyline following this band and getting everyone perspectives. and i don’t know if it was meant to be a plot twist in the end, but if you know, you know. And that was a nice way to wrap it up.

Absolutely devoured this book. TJR has a way of developing complex characters that I don’t see often and it’s very apparent in this book. Loved the ups and down that everyone went though and would love to reread with the added context of

Julie being the interviewer/author of the book.

Very fun and quick read with many emotions in between, would definitely recommend, but look at content warning just in case.

Fans of documentary style dramas will appreciate the confessional style and pacing. TJR does a masterful job creating an alternate pop culture where none of the characters are real but they all *could* be real. The twist toward the end was nice but it felt a little forced and didn’t really give the reader time to fully grapple with what it meant. It was surprise for the sake of surprise and didn’t really change much about the story.  Even so, it was a beautiful yet fun story about complicated people and my only regret is that I can’t on a Wikipedia deep dive about all of them.

A slow read due to the formatting, the characters are memorable and the end, though abrupt and even anticlimactic, packed and emotional punch. I didn’t like how the lyrics were all at the end. I flipped back to refer to them often and by the time I finished the book didn’t care to read the ones I hadn’t read yet. TJR always writes memorable characters which is really what I come to books for.
