For me, this was fine, but it was boring and really not much happened - which is okay, but I didn't feel enough connection to the characters to care about it being more character-focused. I'm interested in the author's writing as I think their approach to narrating books and creating fictions is more unique than I've seen, as in Evelyn Hugo, but, maybe it's because I was on the audiobook for this, it just felt extremely scattered and not cohesive. I found myself just wanting to get to the end, I knew it wouldn't really end well, but the whole book was an anti-climax that never felt it was even close to a climax in the first place.

I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the rock n' roll, 70s, biopic vibes. My main complaint (that keeps this from 5 stars) was that I felt very thrown in, like I was supposed to know more about the band/world than I did when I started the book. I don't think I ever really nailed down the band members' roles exactly. I also was annoyed at how objectified Daisy was by everyone in her life (even the women!), but I also think that that's maybe part of her character? That's a half-baked thought.

Was I torn between the chemistry of Daisy and Billy and really wanting Billy to be a good husband/dad the whole time?

Yes. Did I cry? Yes. Am I proud of people who aren't even real? Yes. 

Gonna binge the whole TV show now!
