This story reminded me a lot of Fleetwood Mac. No it is not the exact story but the overall vibe of the book.
My favorite part of this book was that it is such a poignant look at love. Falling in love with someone and getting married isn't always the last time you fall. Sometimes other people enter your life, unexpectedly and you have to make a choice. Keep loving the person you promised forever to or take a chance on the other person you fell for. It is possible to love more than one person at a time.
I loved that the women are strong, even when they are making terrible decisions. They don't get pushed aside and they don't cave in to others. Camilla's clear headed look at her relationship and her determination to make it work are amazing. Not every relationship is an easy one and she saw her husband so clearly. To have the conversation she has with Daisy was so ballsy.
Daisy is the ingénue we have all read about in rock and roll. She is a stunner who has a painful past that she wants to escape. She wants to be a star and she's determined to find her way there.
Billy Dunn wants to be a rock star. He writes, he sings, he's charismatic. It's his band even though it shouldn't be. He's not good at letting anyone else have a say and he's not happy when Daisy shows up.
