Before picking up this book, I had seen it compared to Daisy Jones And The Six. This comparison made me nervous as I didn't love that book. However, I can say with full confidence that The Final Revival of Opal & Nev is its own unique story that tackles vastly different topics than Daisy Jones does. In fact, I liked this book better. I thought the premise was very unique - looking back on an Afropunk rock duo from the 70s who made music challenging the inequality in the world. However, the question is did both partners really believe in the messages their music conveyed... I highly recommend reading this title and if you are an audiobook person, the audio has a full cast of narrators and is fantastic!
