<spoiler > This was described for fans of Daisy Jones and the Six and A Star is Born which really was the perfect description. It was exciting yet heartbreaking the love between Jesse and Jane but each others deamons would never let it work. They were each others strength when it was required especially after Jesse overdosed near the end. The book gave hope as I thought Jesse would have died years before but in 2022 they are both alive and happy. Even though they never ended up together they had families of their own and still shared the friendship. This book echoes the issues with the music industry especially wealthy white men who take what they want with no consequences. I loved Willy for trying his hardest to protect Jane and for Jane to know her own mind and not take any BS no matter the impact on her career. All the characters in the book were great even Maggie and Morgan towards the end showcasing the power of  family and friends.
