Overall this was a really enjoyable and easy read. It is romantic but not raunchy. The characters are relatable and likable and I felt invested in the story. The group dynamics were funny and the relationships interesting. I really enjoyed the historical setting of rock and roll in the sixties. It was cool and fun, and the book almost felt like a study of that scene and era.
My only issues with this book are that the characters and tropes sometimes felt cliche, especially Daisy was emphasized as the ultimate cool girl in a way that made her not feel like a real person. Though that may be a purposeful demonstration of her celebrity image. It also lacked an intense climax, potentially as a result of the interview format.

I wasn’t initially sold on this concept, but I was hooked on this book from « End of fucking story. » at the end of the first chapter. The structure is very cool and the multiple narrators played off each other in a way that drove the conflict in present-day even though they were telling 40 year-old stories. I also really liked how the book was rooted in the song lyrics and found myself very much wanting to hear the actual songs.

I think one of my favorite things though was the reveal of the author at the end. I read that part and immediately wanted to start the book over again to examine how their bias could have impacted the storytelling. It made me question my own memory of the story and my affinities for certain characters over others.

Although they weren’t the « narrator »,

they had a heavy hand in shaping the story in a way I don’t think I recognized until then. It added a whole new level of artfully constructed depth to the exploration of memory and storytelling.

I think listening to the audiobook really enhances the experience of this book.  

I definitely want to go back and reread this book later!  Being sure to highlight some of my favorite lines.  

My main issue with this book was pacing.  Some parts I couldn't put the book down and in others I had to force myself to pick it up.

I really loved the characters in this book.  I think they are what makes the book stand out.
