First of, this was a fun book in a format I really enjoy. Also enjoyed the setting and just vibing along to the events and the discrepancy between each character's version.
However, I was expecting something really hard core, because this was the rock and roll scene!! People crashing and burn.
There was so much build-up as you read trying to figure out how this up and up band abruptly ended. And the climax fell flat in the face of that build-up. Maybe that's the point, but even then, the whole thing just didn't feel as gritty as I was expecting.
Maybe I would have enjoyed this more if I read this as an audiobook but I feel like this was too short and vanilla for what it was trying to depict. Yeah there was some serious drug abuse going on but, I don't know, I just didn't get the sense of the consequences enough.. I don't know how to describe it. Just that, even though some of what was happening was really messed up, the writing made it feel bland.
All in all though, it was still a fun read
