Meant to review when I first read this but totally forgot! To be honest - I watched the show (on prime) before I read the book. Didn't even know there was one! I got absolutely obsessed with the cast music for a while and just needed more content, so I bought the book. 
This book is absolutely fantastic. It's done in an interview style, interviewing fictional characters about fictional events in the past. The characters are all flawed, which makes them so human and makes the story all the better. You will be annoyed with most of the characters at least once. I have always been a fan of music in this genre- my CD/vinyl collection will give that away- and I just loved the style of this book. The story absolutely pulls you in, despite the fictional history take, and you get engrossed in the lives of these band members. I found it actually annoying whenever I had to put this book down, and given the option I would have read it all in a day. 
Honestly speaking, you don't need to read the book to enjoy the show, and you don't need to watch the show to enjoy the book, and if you do both the order doesn't matter much. Wonderful read if you have a spare weekend- you will NOT want to put it down!!
I do, by the way, recommend the album (cast recording, it's called Aurora) even if you don't watch the show. It is phenomenal.

I feel like what made me enjoy this book was the fact that I listened to it on audiobook. I enjoyed hearing different voices share different perspectives. I couldn’t imagine reading it and trying to keep all these random people straight in my head. I really just didn’t see this incredible and earth shattering connection and romance that Daisy and Billy allegedly shared. I understand that the characters are supposed to be unreliable and biased, since it’s first had retellings, but it just made it hard to believe that this connection existed in the way it was being hyped up as.

Really great book, love taylor jenkins reid!!! TW for drug and alcohol abuse but other than that I really liked the characters and the overall vibe. I loved the style of it being written like an interview as well, that was something unique I’d never seen before! I have no specific complaints but since it didn’t wow me I would rate it 4 stars, but bumped it to 4.5 because of the interview style of book which was so cool. Seeing other reviews also makes me wish I’d listened to the audiobook!! Overall a good read that me want to join a band
