This was one of the most enjoyable pieces of fiction I have read in quite some time. It was just like viewing an insiders documentary of the momentous rise and precipitous decline of a much loved rock and roll band while getting a front row ticket to it all. The love, the distaste, the joy, the anger, all the emotions all wrapped up in the many different perspectives of the ones who lived it all. Reading this as an audiobook added even more to the delight with the full cast emoting the characters in just the right nuanced way to bring out the sighs and laughs that evoke a reminiscent thought that just doesn't translate the same when reading the written word. This is the very book I have dreamed of writing for over 20 years and Taylor Jenkins Reid did it. Bravo.
