I just finished reading this book in a span of 2 days!! I had wanted to read this for a long time, but I hesitated to start another Taylor Jenkins Reid book because I knew she would make me feel things, and she really did 😭. While reading this book, I fought the urge not to search and look it up on the Internet since I was hoping that this book was based on real life and that the band in the story was real. However, I should’ve known that this is the writing style of TJR and that I should not have trusted anything TJR says, especially every time she said that her books were based on actual events HAHAHA.

On the other hand, that puts into perspective that TJR is an incredible and genius writer. I’m unsure if my standards are just low at the moment, but I can’t imagine how she pulled off a novel with that kind of unique writing style– like everything was written as if it were in a documentary or interview. I loved how everything was described in the story; I felt as though I had travelled back in time to see the 1970s band in action, and the portrayal of drug addicts and the atmosphere of being in a rock band was spot-on. Though some of the characters, particularly Daisy Jones, were exceedingly irritating to me, those are the best qualities they could have. I was pleased that every character reflected the overall tone TJR intended to portray in the narrative.

The ending could have been better and more polished. Even though I adore Camilla, I found the ending's emphasis on Camilla rather than Daisy Jones as the main character kind of cliche and uninteresting. But, overall, my imagination and I enjoyed reading this book– TJR never fails me.

I could not get into this book. I did not like the format or the characters. It also used too much profanity for me. This is the only book I have tried by this author.

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.
