Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Absolutely loved the concept of a "Behind the Music" type documentary that's given to us as a transcript. It really makes it that much more interesting to see how characters develop and show personality without the standard narration or description and it works pretty well. You get a lot of conflicting viewpoints, which feels realistic and messy. Daisy Jones is an absolutely iconic character that you can enjoy for her vulnerability and strength at the same time. I think the book as a whole may work better as an audiobook, though I chose to read it as a book first since I prefer that format when diving into something new.
