I had a hard time getting into this one. I listened to it as an audiobook and I wonder if it would’ve been better reading a physical copy. It was hard to follow at points as an audiobook, and the “chapters” were quite long at certain points.

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.

I really wanted to love this book and at first I thought I would but it was just so toxic and I really didn’t find Billy or Daisy likable as time went on.

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.
