This book wanted to be a lot of things that already exist elsewhere in the lives of real, actual rock stars/bands.

I mean, what a story! The drama of a super famous 70s rock band is such an inherently interesting topic, and then you add the framing device of the story being told through interviews with the members? So fascinating! The way the interpersonal drama unfolds is so much fun to read. This is also a great book to listen to as an audio book if your version has different narrators for the different characters, because that truly brings the interviews alive.

Basically, this book has a lot of the stereotypical "rock star lifestyle" and people struggling with it, so drugs and alcohol are heavily present. Plus some stuff about what it's like to be a young woman in a world where a lot of men are willing to take advantage of her in multiple ways.
