For me, this was fine, but it was boring and really not much happened - which is okay, but I didn't feel enough connection to the characters to care about it being more character-focused. I'm interested in the author's writing as I think their approach to narrating books and creating fictions is more unique than I've seen, as in Evelyn Hugo, but, maybe it's because I was on the audiobook for this, it just felt extremely scattered and not cohesive. I found myself just wanting to get to the end, I knew it wouldn't really end well, but the whole book was an anti-climax that never felt it was even close to a climax in the first place.

First half of the book was really, really slow and took awhile to get through. I did not enjoy the format the book was written in at all. The second half was so good, but much better in audiobook format.

Somebody inject this book into my bloodstream. I friken loved it. Gonna go watch the show now. The characters were just so well written with complex thoughts and emotions and I felt for all of them. A super interesting format for a book too which worked amazingly. I wish there was more of it. Taylor Jenkins Reid hasn’t missed with any of the book I’ve read by her. In audiobook form it feel even more real with the distinct voices as if it’s really interviews. Just gorgeous.

I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the rock n' roll, 70s, biopic vibes. My main complaint (that keeps this from 5 stars) was that I felt very thrown in, like I was supposed to know more about the band/world than I did when I started the book. I don't think I ever really nailed down the band members' roles exactly. I also was annoyed at how objectified Daisy was by everyone in her life (even the women!), but I also think that that's maybe part of her character? That's a half-baked thought.

Was I torn between the chemistry of Daisy and Billy and really wanting Billy to be a good husband/dad the whole time?

Yes. Did I cry? Yes. Am I proud of people who aren't even real? Yes. 

Gonna binge the whole TV show now!
