This book was... ok... there is so much hype around it that I thought it would be something completely different. Honestly, I almost put it down for a while, but I was reading it in a group read, so I couldn't let my girls down.

I've never read a book written like this one - like an interview. I like it and I think is very different and refreshing and makes the book very easy to read. Sincerely, I don't know what I don't enjoy in this book. Maybe because it feels like a biography (a genre that I don't particularly like) but none of those people where real.

In one hand I liked those slight differences in their stories: everyone had their particular way of remember  a situation...  but in other hand,  I really don't care what every single one of those people thinks about every single situation.

Also, the characters are not lovable at all: Daisy is so annoying and self centered; Billy is a tyrant that doesn't respect other opinions (except from Teddy); the other members of the band are just living in Billy's shadow and don't stick up for themselves; even Camila - the only relatable character - makes some weird decisions to keep a (kinda) happy marriage.

Anyway, I'm very confused about this book. Cool cover though!
