This is a really quick and easy book to read. The plot and characters are enjoyable but I think the nature of having it written as short passages from each person means that nothing is fully explored and I also saw it as a way for the author to get out of writing proper descriptive scenes. The characters are very likeable and funny and the overall plot is interesting. I was going to the give the book 4 stars as I was expecting something more from the ending but it sort of just fizzled out which is why I knocked it down

I mean, what a story! The drama of a super famous 70s rock band is such an inherently interesting topic, and then you add the framing device of the story being told through interviews with the members? So fascinating! The way the interpersonal drama unfolds is so much fun to read. This is also a great book to listen to as an audio book if your version has different narrators for the different characters, because that truly brings the interviews alive.

Basically, this book has a lot of the stereotypical "rock star lifestyle" and people struggling with it, so drugs and alcohol are heavily present. Plus some stuff about what it's like to be a young woman in a world where a lot of men are willing to take advantage of her in multiple ways.

Hot take: I didn't enjoy the second half of the story and it ruined the entire book for me.

I understand the power and point of Camila's character as a "don't take bullshit" attitude but she took bullshit every turn and point of Billy's career. I thought that her conversation with Daisy at the end of the book was such a shallow take on "taking a stand/ownership of how I want my life". Which is great for women, we should have the autonomy and confidence to choose how we want our life. She chose Billy. But at the end of the day, why would I fight for a man who put me through hell while raising three daughters? Why would I feel this sense of superiority over Daisy? Who had so many issues of her own? (Even though she wanted better for her, the last conversation was demeaning to me). Daisy's love for Billy made sense and kept the entire thing interesting but at the end of the day, they loved each other so much they were terrible for one another. This happens in reality but it just didn't hit home the way that I felt like it could have. I just believe I'm just not the intended audience for the book.
