Super satisfying summer read. At first I wasn't sure if I would be able to really get into the book, given the oral history-style format, but as soon as I knew who the main characters were it was fine and I didn't want to put it down. Taylor Jenkins Read has a great way of weaving together characters' stories and not always going the direction you expect, playing with the push and pull of emotions and conflict. The oral history structure felt flawless, and the lyrics and titles she came up with for the band's songs were totally believable.
