I couldn’t enjoy the book fully until closer to the end when everything was coming together. But it was worth it ! This isn’t a book with excitement and adventure, but having the steady pace and mellow vibe (though the content is heavy) really made me appreciate this book. It definitely reminded me of why it’s important to slow down and read thoughtfully. :)

Literally no notes, this was SO GOOD. TJR has a way of writing these historical fiction characters that feels so lifelike. I found myself so many times wishing I could just do a deep dive on this band. The audiobook was a 10/10 listening experience, the full cast made it keep so real and raw. I love the complexity in these characters too and how gray they were. This is definitely a new favorite book of mine.
