I really liked the characters, there was a strong cast of likable supporting characters, some of them were more superficial but still enjoyable.
I loved the setting - I'm a sucker for the 70s.
I'm really glad I listened to the book on audio, the full cast was amazing and gave a really distinct voice to each character, with great emotional preformances. I'm not even sure I would have made it though the book otherwise, cause the interview format in written form seems a bit boring. But the audio made it believable and engaging.
Moderate: Alcoholism, Alcohol, and Addiction

I felt that the female voices in this were given a platform. Three completely different women finding their place in the world and happiness, that so clearly not being the same for each of them and all of the pain and struggles they went through to get there.
Some of the characters were not very likeable and their attitudes really played into the dynamic of the band, I appreciated this aspect because I feel like this was much more realistic than them all being happy and friendly all the time.
While reading it, I felt like it could genuinely have been a memoir, the line between fiction and real life felt very blurred.
While I really enjoyed this, there are other TJR books that I enjoyed more.
