 If I'm being fully honest, I don't know how to rate this. I loved it, and I can't really think about anything I didn't like about it, but I also don't think it's a five-star book for me. I'm confused too.
I absolutely adored how this was written. The audio transcript format isn't for everyone, but I think it added to the idea that we never had an idea of who was telling the truth and who wasn't. It meant that every character felt very distinct.
I do think, though, that it took me a little while to get into the book. It took me a while to figure out who was who. Even when their voices were separate, their names weren't. There were some names thrown around that I can't tie back to a character in the story.
This was 100% one of the most unique books I've ever read, though. I don't think I've ever picked up a book with this format, and the only things that I have read that come close to this are scripts of plays. Because this was so different, I found myself wanting to pick it up when I had free time, which was refreshing as I pulled myself out of a reading slump.
TLDR; definitely pick this up if you are interested in a unique read and are interested in the inner workings of the music industry from the perspective of a band that fell apart.
