This is always my go to recommendation for anyone in a reading slump or anyone who loves the whole 70/80s era of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll.
The tv series is one of very few that does its book justice but, I think to truly appreciate this story, the beauty lies in the details within the book.

I actually considered not finishing a couple times. I feel like this just goes with the stigma of musicians being addicts, drunks, destructive, and partying all the time. Sprinkle in some homewrecking and cheating along with some supposedly great music and that pretty much sums up this book. The ONLY lovable character was Camila, ugh my baby 🫶🏼 however a few times I was questioning her logic but I guess it all worked out in the end.
I can see how some people really love this book but, I could’ve went without.
