inspiring
reflective
medium-paced

Character
Strong character development:
Yes

Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
I appreciate the concept, I like the interview style with the band and having a candid view into the casual use of drugs in the 70s
I personally didn’t feel a connection with any of the characters - i feel like all of them (except maybe Camila) spoke the same and didn’t feel too well rounded. I also didn’t believe in Billy and Daisy’s chemistry, with it being essential to understand their emotional affair. Daisy is meant to be someone who is troubled by the drugs, but the complete disregard to the fact that Billy is married while she falls in love didn’t land for me. I generally didn’t believe in the star charisma of Billy and Daisy, along with the chemistry of the band. I also wish they were a band longer than basically a year, just so things had more time to “crumble” apart.
I did like that all their songs are written and left in the back of the book.
