The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because it didn't make me cry.
7HoEH made me cry like crazy, and while this is emotional, it didn't push me river the edge.

Not a book I thought I’d be hung up on afterwards but here we are. I’m a fantasy reader so when something like this makes me feel so bittersweet, you know it’s a good book.

I really liked this book. I love Reid's writing, but it felt a little disjointed. I was invested but not excited

For the record, this was SO much better than The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I feel like the concept held strong throughout the book and I actually like the first hand accounts of the story. It wasn’t just massive slabs of: then I felt like, then I said, and I did this. 
However I still don’t get the point of

doing a surprise like, “oh and the author of this book is Billy’s daughter OMG”

 
Like what is the obsession, it really displaces my focus from the book. It added nothing emotional for me personally. 
I also think some of the other band members could’ve been described more. Or even focused on their own things more throughout the story, but that’s me. Overall it was good and I enjoyed it
