This book REALLY surprised me since the plot didn’t really sound like something I’d love. I was pretty sure going into it that this book that it just wasn’t going to be for me be I was quickly captivated by literally every character. They all had such strong clear voices and identities even through the interview style of writing. This book was devastating in a way I wasn’t expecting. I went in this book thinking it was a cute romance but I got a raw book about every emotion out there. I used to study addictions counseling so this book felt really personal and I felt my heart break many times. By the end of it I was in tears and I can’t remember the last time a book made me cry. Just so beautiful. There’s nothing I didn’t like about this book and not one thing I would change. I was halfway through the book before I realized it’s a fake band (I didn’t read the back I just trusted the hype lmao)

This was such a unique and fascinating book, complexly told and ultimately engrossing. I'll admit, this book sucked me in by the end, these characters sucked me in. But I'm not sure it's one I'll think back to for years. I loved the different personalities of the band, specifically the "background" characters like Karen, Graham, Eddie, and Warren. Honestly, Billy and Daisy's story was somehow the least captivating? I'm glad I finally sat down and read this book, but I can't help but think about how much better The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is. I'd definitely be interested in listening to the audiobook, though!

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

ES:

Sin palabras. Me levanto y aplaudo y lloro y bailo...y me pienso leer todo lo que escriba esta señora. Menuda experiencia "Todos quieren a Daisy Jones".

EN:

I am still in a post-reading haze, wishing this was real. I adored this book, the nostalgic feeling, the complex characters and the idea of almost feeling the band in this story was real. I want more songs, I want more concert and I want to go back to this story now. 

I am going to read everything Jenkins Reid writes.
