second time reading: i don’t know why i thought reading this book twice in the span on two weeks was a good idea but it was not. i am, once again, in tears.
first time reading: my heart is broken. if you see me drowning in a pool of my own tears, mind your fucking business!

This book is an emotional roller coaster. I'm so frustrated at Billy and Daisy. Somehow, I agree with Eddie and his feelings towards Billy. I was rooting for Graham and Karen, but I guess it's really hard to work out a relationship when you have different views in life. I enjoyed a band that I know didn't exist. I feel so much pain for Camila. The ending made me sob. Camila is the strongest person in this story. Imagine the struggl ...more

arguably one of my favourite books of all time. i have not and probably will not stop thinking about this book EVER. my whole heart is so emotionally invested with these characters and i refuse to believe that they aren't real. i refuse!

This was my very first Taylor Jenkins Reid novel, and I personally believe that this was a great one to start with. I know that a lot of people were disappointed with this one after having read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, but I went into this with very little expectations.
I listened to this as an audiobook in Finnish, which was such a good idea, since this book is written like interviews. T ...more

I'm sad because I thought I was going to love this, especially with all the hype around it but it really did not capture me. I think what I struggled the most with was the format. For me, the transcript kept wanting to be prose but couldn't be, the way characters would speak felt so unrealistic for recall and it just took me out of the narrative.
I also found Daisy's character incredibly frustrating and slightly one-dimensional, she's beautiful and talented and everyone wants to be her, okay, wh ...more

I absolutely loved this book.
Taylor Jenkins-Reid paints such a vivid picture of 70s Americana and I really liked the interview format. The conflict between the characters was really gripping and the tension between Billy and Daisy was so intense. I wish the ending was slightly longer as I had quite a lot of unanswered questions when I finished the book.
Overall, such a fun read!
