This was a good story! Taylor Jenkins Reid always writes stories from a heavier perspective and this one is no different. I loved the multiple POV-interview style format and found myself laughing along with some events that the characters shared their differing perspectives on. The ending was heart wrenching and beautiful. Can’t wait to check out the tv show!

Such an interesting format and it works well!! I like how the characters, no matter how little or how much they speak, have a life of their own. Very much a showing rather than telling novel. I like how complex the characters are and how it very much did feel rock'n'roll.

I know that they are reading as the book is written, but for some parts, it was difficult to track who is speak and who is who.

I read this book because it was a DNF from a couple of years ago and I needed to try a DNF again for a book challenge. The first time, I listened to the audiobook version. This time, I read the e-book. If this had not been a challenge I wanted to complete, I would have DNFed it again. I still do not understand the high ratings on this book. Only two of the characters were likable to me. Warren was ok, but he was so overshadowed by the others that he might as well not have been in the book. Simone was a wonderful friend to Daisy and one I wished she had listened to sooner. Unfortunately, Simone’s character only makes brief appearances because she was not part of the band’s story. I wanted to feel something for Daisy because her childhood was so terrible, but as she got older, I was just bored with her character. She was one note, just a hot mess most of the time. Billy was an egotistical musical talent who pushed everyone around to get his way. Right now, I am past my limit of self-centered men who push people around. The rest of the band blended into the background unless they had some crisis and once resolved, returned to the shadows. I thought maybe the audiobook was the reason I DNFed this the first time, but it was not. Reading 369ish pages of almost straight interview style writing was fatiguing and boring for me. I love memoirs, fictional or not, but why was this the chosen writing style? I made it through to the end, but I wish I had spent the time reading something else.
