Groupies: A Novel by Sarah Priscus
3.0
Groupies sets out to redefine what it means to be a groupie. Groupies typically have a dirty or elusive connotation and I admire Sarah Priscus’ new take on groupiedom. She combines Almost Famous and Daisy Jones and the Six in this inside look at rock and roll groupies.
I love the 70s music scene, so that was instantly appealing. It was an entertaining journey to experience as Faun slowly became entrenched in that world, but it dragged on a bit and became a somewhat meandering drugged out haze in the middle of the novel. The dialogue also tended to border on cheesy and unrealistic. The last quarter of the novel really stepped up the story, though. There was a fun twist and some interesting growth we got to experience with Faun.
I was so happy to receive an ARC of this book through a Goodreads giveaway!
Overall: a fun, enjoyable read, but lacking in some areas.
