The story is written as excerpts of interviews from multiple viewpoints. I think this is a fun and unique way to tell the story of all the characters from their own perspectives. The reader can see right away where the story changes based on each person's experience. 

There are so many characters involved in this novel, but they are all so distinctly different from one another, you have no problem keeping them straight. Warren is the comic hero of the story. With all the dark themes, his character lightens the mood. 

I started flipping to the back of the book where the lyrics of the songs are printed. Each time they mention a new song, I go back and read the lyrics. I think it helps create a better understanding of Billy and Daisy's actual feelings and emotions.

I absolutely loved reading this book. It was fun and uplifting while also being dark and self-reflecting. I hate this feeling I have connecting with Simone. It makes me sad on a personal level, but I think that's why her quotes stick with me so much.

Check the TWs if you have concerns, but I definitely-100%-recommend this book.
