bosquecilla's review against another edition
4.0
Toda la experiencia de leer este libro fue otro nivel, poder escuchar a Fleetwood Mac mientras lo leía, el formato tipo documental que no había leído antes, fue realmente fascinante.
Un libro que pareciera es uno más intentando pintar la imagen de "manic pixie dream girl" que todos ven en Daisy, más se da el trabajo de explicarte el porqué, te saca la venda de los ojos brutalmente sobre lo que significa realmente ser una estrella del rock en aquellos años, de una forma ligera, para reflexionar sin caer los estereotipos, se centra mucho en cómo cada uno de forma muy personal estaba viviendo cada acontecimiento por el que atravesaba la banda y te da una visión más diversificada de lo que "realmente pasó".
El paso en que está escrito es muy dinámico y no te deja aburrirte en ningún momento, a pesar que hay muchos datos, fechas, conciertos y nombres, está estructurado de una manera en la que no te pierdes quién es quién.
También muestra esencialmente la lucha constante después de la rehabilitación, ya que si bien ese es el fin que a uno le gustaría para tu artista favorito luego de ser adicto, es solo el primer paso y la vida después, la lucha interna constante está plasmada de una manera muy real
Hank me caes mal y es todo lo que voy a decir de ti, porque no mereces ni siquiera que explique el por qué me caes mal.
Me gustó mucho la conexión especial que tenían las mujeres a la largo de la historia, se cayeran bien o mal, dentro del mundo que se desarrolla la historia y lo machista que podía llegar a ser, de alguna forma u otra siento que se protegían muy bien tanto Karen como Daisy y Camilla a Daisy(a pesar de lo que pudo o no pasar entre ellas) y Camilla a Karen. Bueno... Camilla en general, la amamos.
Es un libro muy divertido, ligero, excelentemente construido, realmente uno siente que se fue de gira con ellos y pude ver claramente el documental en mi cabeza, verlos sentados respondiendo preguntas, mientras su voz flota y en la pantalla vez fotos viejas del bus, backstage y los diarios.
“Ese tipo de amor no es para chicas como yo, incluso si lo era en aquel tiempo no lo hubiese aceptado” "Él no iba a matarme, pero me dejaría morir" "Camila Dunne pensaba que valía la pena salvarme"-frases de Daisy que me quedaron marcadas y siento que reflejan muy bien la onda del libro.

It’s interesting hearing about all of these people with dreams and everything gets tangled with love and drugs and their relationships with themselves and how those aspects just make it impossible… How all of these people fall together and then have no choice but to walk away in spite of what they want and what they could have all together. It’s heartbreaking in some ways, but reassuring that you’re not the only one going through life as a victim of circumstance. It’s a human experience and we’re all humans (even rockstars).

There are so many characters involved in this novel, but they are all so distinctly different from one another, you have no problem keeping them straight. Warren is the comic hero of the story. With all the dark themes, his character lightens the mood.
I started flipping to the back of the book where the lyrics of the songs are printed. Each time they mention a new song, I go back and read the lyrics. I think it helps create a better understanding of Billy and Daisy's actual feelings and emotions.
I absolutely loved reading this book. It was fun and uplifting while also being dark and self-reflecting. I hate this feeling I have connecting with Simone. It makes me sad on a personal level, but I think that's why her quotes stick with me so much.
Check the TWs if you have concerns, but I definitely-100%-recommend this book.
