I wish I liked this more, but Jane can do LITERALLYYYY no wrong and I found it SO grating. The story had potential but I was too annoyed with Jane to care much about her journey.

This book was really good, but I had to skip quite a few scenes because of content I didn't feel comfortable reading. It's mostly my fault for not checking content warnings before I picked it up.

Channelling Daisy Jones vibes this book follows Jane Quinn during the 70s as she embarks on her music career.
I enjoyed the audio of this one, I didn't love it, but it made my flights to and from holiday go a little bit more quickly. It coveted the music scene as well as drug and alcohol abuse and mental health.

I didn’t enjoy this book :( I think because I went in knowing it was based on Joni Mitchell and James Taylor, and the characters just didn’t feel like them at all. It was a little bland for such a juicy topic.

It's like Daisy Jones and the Six but with a lot more drama. It was a very interesting book, the main characters have a lot of personality and are wonderful. I didn't like the end.

É um daqueles livros que classifico muito intelectualmente como meh. A escrita é muito simples (às vezes demasiado) e dá a impressão de que a autora não sabe muitos mais verbos além do "say" (a quantidade de "said" que li na mesma página é preocupante). Entretém e o final é muito melhor do que eu esperava, o que faz esquecer um bocadinho do resto.
