Having read Malibu Rising and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (I loved both books very much), I went into this book with high expectations. Also just because of all the good reviews and the hype. I love the way TJR writes - she is an exceptional writer.

For the fact that she managed to portray an imaginary band so real that after some time you try to google the songs, the book actually deserves 5 stars. However, I'm only giving 4 here because I realized that I was very bored with the story at times. Especially in the middle of the book, when it was about the creation of the different songs. I loved in the previously mentioned books that TJR can take the reader to an earlier time and make the reader feel like they are just in the 50's, 60's, 70's or 80's. She managed to do that in this book as well. However, I had to admit to myself that I'm probably just not interested enough in stories about rock'n'roll bands.
