Writing? Excellent, but it's not surprising, I expected nothing less.
AUDIOBOOK???? 20/10!!!!!!!

At this point, I'll just 'read' (listen to) TJR's books in audio form. IF I read more from her (I hope so)

I was over everyone at one point in the book, but it's kinda the beauty of it; the realism, I guess. In my mind, they all are real people idc idc

I'm off to watch the series now, laterz

After reading Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by the same author, I am absolutely a Jenkins Reid fan! This book was similar to the other book and reminded me of A Star is Born at the same time. I couldn’t put this down! Will be watching the tv show soon!

The story is written as excerpts of interviews from multiple viewpoints. I think this is a fun and unique way to tell the story of all the characters from their own perspectives. The reader can see right away where the story changes based on each person's experience. 

There are so many characters involved in this novel, but they are all so distinctly different from one another, you have no problem keeping them straight. Warren is the comic hero of the story. With all the dark themes, his character lightens the mood. 

I started flipping to the back of the book where the lyrics of the songs are printed. Each time they mention a new song, I go back and read the lyrics. I think it helps create a better understanding of Billy and Daisy's actual feelings and emotions.

I absolutely loved reading this book. It was fun and uplifting while also being dark and self-reflecting. I hate this feeling I have connecting with Simone. It makes me sad on a personal level, but I think that's why her quotes stick with me so much.

Check the TWs if you have concerns, but I definitely-100%-recommend this book.

This is one of my favourites. I love everything about this book. If you’re a Fleetwood Mac fan, you’ll love, not only the overall aesthetic of the characters & setting but, the familiarity of Daisy & Billy’s tumultuous relationship, which echoes that of Stevie Nicks & Lindsay Buckingham. Stevie herself has now admitted how much of herself she sees in Daisy Jones. 
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.
