I was enthralled. I felt like I was there watching them fall and get back up, and rock out, and break down. 
I truly thought the characters were real. Felt too realistic to be fiction. 
I loved the reflections on love and rock and roll. 
I thought it was a great book.

I finished this on the tram this morning and cried.
After having watched the show, I was determined to read it finally. I understand why they made the changes they made to it and honestly, both version were exceptional in their own way but there’s a clear difference between book and show Billy and I’m not actually sure which one I prefer.
All in all, I took off 0.25 stars because I couldn’t stand Eddie’s whining the whole time.
Apart from that, I loved all the characters and loved the full cast reading of this.

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!

I wasn’t initially sold on this concept, but I was hooked on this book from « End of fucking story. » at the end of the first chapter. The structure is very cool and the multiple narrators played off each other in a way that drove the conflict in present-day even though they were telling 40 year-old stories. I also really liked how the book was rooted in the song lyrics and found myself very much wanting to hear the actual songs.

I think one of my favorite things though was the reveal of the author at the end. I read that part and immediately wanted to start the book over again to examine how their bias could have impacted the storytelling. It made me question my own memory of the story and my affinities for certain characters over others.

Although they weren’t the « narrator »,

they had a heavy hand in shaping the story in a way I don’t think I recognized until then. It added a whole new level of artfully constructed depth to the exploration of memory and storytelling.

Sex, drugs and rock and roll and how hard they are to balance with a functioning life with healthy relationships.
