I want to start by saying that this one took a back burner for me for a few months, then I started it again with the audiobook, and that made it easier to get back into for sure! I love when audiobooks use different narrators for all the people. And with this one kind of being an interview style storyline, it was easier to follow. While I enjoyed the story, dealing with the struggles with an oddball singing duo, one POC and one Brit, and the fact this was being “written” by the daughter of the drummer that had an affair with Opal, made it interesting for sure. But, I found there was just too much unnecessary info, and it was kind of all over the place. I found myself thinking, okay, who cares about “blah blah blah”, let’s get on with the story. But I will say the main gist of the book had what it needed. Great background of the main characters, a build up to a big event, the description of said event and then the fallout afterwards. A lot of people enjoyed this one, but it just wasn’t for me unfortunately.
