5.0

 Y'all. Its my favorite book ever. It's placed in the 60' and literally all over the place. Mainly in England. So many different scene settings in different city's/countries. The story of the band is so engaging and everyone of them has their loveable and funny side but also something heavy to deal with. It's perfectly written without being too heavy in itself and still being able to fully connect the reader to life happenings of each character. I just love all of them. It's authentic and gets in your heart. 
It's diverse and shows how lgbtq+ was handled back then. It's also reflecting the political structure from the 60s so good.
Music wise is everything I wanted in my bookish dreams bc it's one of my favorite decades musically and the references all seem so natural. I may add it also describes not only the good side of the hippie movement, it also shows the shadows that may appear along the way. It's literally about s**, dr*** and rock and roll and ALL of it's faces. Check the trigger warnings. This book contains and discusses some dark issues. As I said, it's still lighthearted without lacking truth,facts,emotions,authenticitynin every human way possible. It's a ride through an generation, music, passion,  love, war, politics,family, mental health, death and everything in between.
Everything speaks for the quality of the writing its self. Everything and everyone is just so natural and authentic. 
It's a 5 star book without a doubt. F it. I give it 100 stars.
