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!

literally just finished this so may have to come back and review it later because I’m actually quite speechless.

I haven’t enjoyed a book like this is a while. Can’t get over how immersive it was and how REAL it all feels. The way it’s written literally makes it feel like these are your memories you are reliving and that you are a reader eager to find out about the history of your favourite band.

The last two sections were so unbelievable and heartbreaking and soooo so good plot wise and character wise and I think I will be thinking about this book and the impact it’s had on me creatively for a whole.

The story telling was SO unique and gripping and I loved the use of all the characters as unreliable narrators collective creating a conceivable narrative.

can’t really say much more because quite speechless at the moment but just know that if you’re choosing between books/need sometime to get you inspired again READ THIS
