Audiobook make me love this even more.
I really loved the unique way that this book was written (and for a hot second, I was definitely sold that it was a real band that I had just never heard of). There were times I wished I could hear exactly what a song sounded like, or how the album cover looked, so you know the author was doing her job right. I would absolutely recommend it for anyone who loves the 1970s or is looking for a light, easy summer read.
I did it! I finally finished a book since quarantine started. And let me tell you, this was a sweet one. If you haven't checked it out yet, you should. It's a little unconventional, but it's the most intriguing success story mixed with a Rolling Stones article and all those back and forth interview stories I used to love reading. Anyway, it's escapism. And it's wonderful.

Listened for the second time, as good if not better than the first!
This is TJR’s best book. Hands down.
I'm a little obsessed with this book at the moment. I literally burned through it. It's been a LONG time a book has made me sit up late and finish it. For a music lover, this book is *chef's kiss*.

A compulsively easy read that hooks you immediately with a unique narrative structure that allows all band members to provide their POV without burdening you with too many details.
While it drags a bit at the beginning, the last half is electric. I never thought I would be so invested in a band that doesn't exist and whose music I've never heard. That's a testament to Reid's creativity, and also the phenomenal actors narrating the audiobook.

I think a lot of the reason I liked this book so well was because I listened to the audio version. What a wonderful performance by all of the narrators. It really made the characters come to life.
