I found the narrative not centring Daisy towards the end a lil disappointing but the perspective of a young artist beautiful.

Spoiler

the twist at the end made it feel like the plot of how I met your mother like this guy was a jerk why do we care again? But at the same time it brought tears to my eyes and made me want to reread it so unconvlusive feelings< /spoiler>

Daisy Jones and Billy Dunne are very fun rock star protagonists to spend some time with. They are difficult, addicts, and they deeply care about the music when inspiration strikes. It’s impressive that Jankins Reid can put you in their shoes when they are the biggest rock stars in the world and help you understand that very particular thrill. I didn’t really need the meta element at the end of the book and I forgot that the plot was supposed to be centered around the breakup of the band for most of it. I got used to the interview style of the book quicker than I thought I would, and it was an interesting way to achieve multiple first person past tense perspectives for the duration of the novel

Okay, theres a lot to unpack...
At first i was a bit dissapointed as i was struggling to keep up with the book, I dont know if it is because I had a very hyped idea because of the tv series or because i have never read this interview-type of narrative. But it was being such a let down for me. But after the first half of the book, oh boy that was it.
I guess i grow fond of the characters plus Taylor character build and just her way of writing really came through. I wanted to keep on reading, such that i read the last half in two days having startes the book months ago.
At the end, is such a good book, where you can see a fictional world but so realistic that catches you and make you feel like a fan of the band reading a memoir. It gave me such a nostalgic feeling, like reading the biography of my favourite band and knowing them better. The end was heart wrenching even thought I already knew it.
< SPOILER >I love each of the characters (minus eddie couldn't care less about him), saying goodbye to teddy was hard but to Camila it was impossible. < SPOILER >
She's such a warm character that has a loving and motherly vibe, she was everyone supporter, the scene with Daisy was just...amazing. How she can express such love to make you feel you matter.
Taylor is a great writter with such strong power in her words, can't wait to keep expanding this world with the rest of her books.🤍
