My passion for music and my love for storytelling came together in this book and it led to something truly magical - this book is a true masterpiece ✨
I love music and pop culture, messy and flawed characters, complicated relationships, a little drama and storytelling that’s both gorgeous and unique, so this book was an instant five-star read for me. I knew it from the first page, as I just didn’t want to put it down as soon as I started. I'm hooked and completely invested, to the point that all I want to do now is either re-read it straight away or watch the TV adaptation.
What really impressed me is how thought-out the whole thing is. Firstly, the characters feel soooo real. I loved their depth, their flaws, the changing dynamics between all of them and how each identity and relationship shaped the band’s story in a different way. Each voice feels authentic and alive, especially Daisy's! She's such a raw, rebellious, magnetic character who's complicated in all the best ways. I also really appreciated that the women were portrayed as dynamic and powerful and that feminism was a big part of this story.
And the details in this book? WOW! There aren’t any loose ends or weird gaps. Every lyric, every interaction, every emotion, every bit of information about the music industry just makes this story feel incredibly real. The author clearly did their homework and research, leading to a story and atmosphere that's so vivid that I had to remind myself this wasn’t about a real band.
I’m also a sucker for an unconventional format and the interview/oral history style totally worked for me and I'd honestly go as far to say that it was perfect for this story. It’s fresh, immersive and it puts you right in the middle of the action.
I can’t and won't stop talking about this book, because it’s honestly one of the best reading experiences I’ve ever had. This book truly deserves all the love and recognition it's been getting.
