It’s interesting hearing about all of these people with dreams and everything gets tangled with love and drugs and their relationships with themselves and how those aspects just make it impossible… How all of these people fall together and then have no choice but to walk away in spite of what they want and what they could have all together. It’s heartbreaking in some ways, but reassuring that you’re not the only one going through life as a victim of circumstance. It’s a human experience and we’re all humans (even rockstars).

My only issues with this book are that the characters and tropes sometimes felt cliche, especially Daisy was emphasized as the ultimate cool girl in a way that made her not feel like a real person. Though that may be a purposeful demonstration of her celebrity image. It also lacked an intense climax, potentially as a result of the interview format.

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.
