If you liked Daisy Jones & the Six then you lay like this even more! I loved the main character and I could really feel her drive and passion for music and performing come off the page.

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.

Everything goes more or less how you expect it to in this book for like 75% of the way through, and then there's a reveal which pulled me in more, but I still don't know if that was enough for me. I wish it had either committed to completely real world musicians beyond our main characters or completely made up bands--the mix between the two felt like it was pulling me out of the story. I also wish the affair element had more of a slow burn to it... they were about to kiss on like page 40 and they'd been in like a handful of scenes together. I'd read more from this author, but this didn't do it for me.
