In many ways, I'm not sure why I like this book so much. It was so intensely readable (I listened to it, which might be part of it) and I think I'll look back on the story in the future.

A very fleetwood Mac-esque band told through the medium of interviews. So beautifully written and so realistic in many ways. THE ENDING! One of the most interesting and genuinely unique fiction books I’ve read in a long time

If i could give this more than 5 stars I would. So nuanced and such good themes. The ending broke me but i liked the idea of a happy ending not being guaranteed and our decisions are what really shape the future. I’m so conflicted over whether Billy should’ve been with camilla or daisy but camilla was good for him and they loved each other but daisy and him were so passionate and they loved each other. Every character has a certain level of depth which i loved and i love daisy and billy so much.

When I was first reading I didn’t realize it was fiction. It is important to note that I listened to this as an audiobook which I think aided in this. The book is read with a full cast with each character receiving their own person and therefore voice. Each voice seemed perfectly suited for the personality it belonged to particularly Eddie who was portrayed by Fred Berman. His voice is as mean as the character’s attitude which really added to the annoyance one found with him. 

This book was full of heartache and fun. There was struggles with addiction and infidelity but mostly it was a story of family and what being in love truly means.

Wow. I can’t believe it took me this long to read this book, but better late than never. As a huge 70s rock n’ roll scene fan I couldn’t put it down. I loved the interview style and can easily say it’s one of the best books I have ever read hence the 5 stars. I’m a big fan of Riley Keough and Suki Waterhouse so I’m excited for the show. I will love this book until the end of time. 

Crying score: I started crying for Daisy and I don’t know if I’ll ever stop.
