If you’re okay with character driven books that really delve into the human psyche you’ll like this one, but if you need more plot, more things happening outwardly this might not be the story for you. My first five star of the year, loved it!

Knowing that ultimately things probably don’t work out in the end (because the premise is a book about a band that was around in the 70’s), but trying to figure out, “what was the tipping point?” makes this story so much more intriguing.

Ultimately, what made this a five star listen for me was the fact that it doesn’t really leave any lingering questions at the end. Everything is pretty much answered, except for maybe one tiny thing that someone requests in the last chapter.

This felt like really surface level. But that was mainly due to the writing. Not that it was bad or awful. It was just white, straight, rich and beautiful people having an existential crisis and having access to drugs and money. However, I appreciate how each of the three main women had a different approach to motherhood and marriage. There was a woman with both, a woman with the kids but not the marriage and one with neither who was happy about it. I liked that. The book was set in the 70’s and the author very much showed what majority of that time era was like for the people like the characters that she wrote. I guess Ive just heard that story told a lot. Other than that, it’s a decent read
