wow, that was a piece of a great book. nuanced, well-written, fun to read.

i loved, once again, the way Reid creates female characters - complex, complicated, powerfull, unapologetic, full of rage and with a big heart at the same time.

the dynamic between the characters was just *chef's kiss*.

glad for the author to make such good choices within the plot - which were apparently much better for the book itself, rather than to please the readers. it made the story have many more layers and depth you can explore

An incredibly engrossing story about a band's ups & downs as they make it in the industry. Unique way of structuring the book as it’s directed to be more of an interview/transcript format. Exhibits major life struggles that are faced & reiterates the different paths people in close proximity/ with the same goal have; everyone is on a different path, even if they’re doing the same things or working together in close proximity.

Enjoyed the narrative technique of the novel — characters recounting events in an interview, engaging in dialogue with the interviewer.

I was impressed with how Jenkins Reid’s wrote her characters’ dialogue so conversationally. It was convincing and effortless.

I liked the stark discrepancies and contradictions between characters when recounting events. They were all unreliable in that way and I like how the story leaves the truth unclear.

I have a love/hate relationship with novels that are about music. It’s the same dissatisfaction I feel when watching cooking shows. You can describe it and show it to me all you want but it’s not in my mouth.

I consumed this novel via audiobook and really loved that there was a full cast. It was like I was listening to a play on the radio. It was so emotive and artistically done. Arguably one of the best audiobook narrations I’ve heard.

I found the ending of the band sudden. We all knew it was coming but yet I still found the way it was written anticlimactic and incomplete somehow, and not in a satisfying literary way.

I found the attempt at actually writing the band’s hit song “Honeycomb” and playing it at the end of the audiobook embarrassing??? You can’t write a novel and paint a picture about how extraordinary and talented and huge this band was and then expose my ears to whatever that was and expect me to say, yes, people definitely would have gone crazy over this song. It was cringey.
