I found the interview style of the book very unique and interesting, and it helped to pace the book. I enjoyed this more than traditional multiple perspectives as it made for a more cohesive story. It also allowed for moments of intrigue and humour when characters contradicted each other. The let downs of the book for me were
the reveal of the Julia as the author, I felt this was unnecessary and added nothing
and the lyrics included at the end. The writing and the effects of the lyrics were so vividly described that I felt including them was unnecessary and they couldn’t and didn’t live up to the descriptions. However, without the lyrics, some of the songs felt so real that I forgot I was reading fiction and made a mental note to listen to Daisy Jones & The Six’s songs!
