I honestly had no interest in reading this, but I kept hearing how great the audiobook was and my curiosity won out. I'm glad I listened to it, though. I was pleasantly surprised!

The way the story was put together was such a cool concept. I did struggle to identify the audiobook cast; there were a lot of characters to keep track of, and half of the narrator's voices sounded the same to me. I could only identity the female characters and Grahm by voice. I think that's just a me thing, though 😅 But it did unfortunately take me out of the story sometimes. 

I also had a hard time believing that
Spoiler Daisy and Billy loved each other. I understood the attraction, but felt like we were told more than we were shown. But maybe that was unavoidable since the bulk of the book was in interview format. While the interview format was cool and unique, it also made it harder for me to connect to the characters - they felt distant somehow.


Overall, it's a really good book. I think I'd enjoy it more on a reread.

This book kind of reminded me of the movie Almost Famous. So if you like that movie, you might like this.

I'd love to watch the adaptation of this, but I don't have Amazon Prime. Maybe one day I'll see it. 🤷‍♀️
