well, taylor jenkins reid did it again. that woman has me in the palm of her hand.
just absolutely fucking amazing and groundbreaking. i kept forgetting i wasn't actually reading a book about a real band in the 70's - from the characters to the stories, to the lyrics and to the pain and passion... this was so well researched and written. it didn't feel like just any other historical fiction; it felt like a real story about a real band in a time when sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll were the only things keeping people alive.
- i HIGHLY suggest people listen to the audiobook. i have a physical copy and read it while listening to the narrators' performances (all of them were fucking fantastic) and it really enhanced the wonderful experience this book offers.
