Overall this was a really enjoyable and easy read. It is romantic but not raunchy. The characters are relatable and likable and I felt invested in the story. The group dynamics were funny and the relationships interesting. I really enjoyed the historical setting of rock and roll in the sixties. It was cool and fun, and the book almost felt like a study of that scene and era.
My only issues with this book are that the characters and tropes sometimes felt cliche, especially Daisy was emphasized as the ultimate cool girl in a way that made her not feel like a real person. Though that may be a purposeful demonstration of her celebrity image. It also lacked an intense climax, potentially as a result of the interview format.
