This book was an extremely easy read.
The characters were lovable, the way of writing had you jump right into their lives. It was very easy to picture this band in the seventies, at the peak of their career since the story was written through verbatim.
I have to admit this got me confused, I thought the author’s note at the beginning meant that the band was real, turns out they’re not but this interview-like fiction really allowed the book to have some depths and truth.
As always, I adore Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novels. They always tell beautiful stories with an excellent and very easy writing.
The only reason why I might not give 5 stars is because I don’t think this is the kind of story that will make me think a lot or reflect very much on serious subjects — even though some topics like sex and drug abuse were very serious and gave a very grave dimension to the novel, they’re not subjects that alter my perspective ultimately.
