LOVE LOVE LOVE. her writing flows so well and makes the book very readable and hard to put down. the character development is spectacular and she is able to make us dislike and love the characters at the same time. daisy is one of the most interesting people i’ve read about and i love the inspiration of this story. definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves music, and just wants a good story.
