An intriguing piece. Combining the use of the 'unreliable narrator' with a group interview, I found the delivery of the story unique and captivating. I especially enjoyed witnessing the conflicting accounts, and the omission of certain details—they often tell the emotions and tension more powerfully. It's easy to get lost in the dialogue and hard to remember who's who but you'll get the hang of it. 

🎯
I especially loved Camila; her and Billy's view and belief on love. Their ability to hold secrets, and their level of trust. Their love was tender to witness and root for.
Their unique take on love,
as well as Billy's chemistry with Daisy and how everything was balanced was one of the main draws for me.

🎯
How the book played out Graham's and Karen's love story was really relatable—people who love each other but don't want the same things. Karen's take on children, how the abortion was freeing, is also a taboo topic explored.

🎯 Some of the characters' growth and admission of failures as they recount their past.
🤔 The front part was slightly too long and draggy, which made enjoying the book difficult. But once you're past Daisy's past and the band's starting days it gets easier.
🤔 The events taking place could feel slightly repetitive
