This is my least favorite of Taylor Jenkins Reid's three novels about fictional historical celebrities, but it is still EXCELLENT. I got completely drawn in by the story of Daisy and the band, and I loved a lot of the characters (especially Camila and Karen, who both felt very REAL). Billy and Daisy were both believable tortured artist characters. It was a fantastic exploration of the creative process and what it means to be a creative person, but it was also VERY focused on the specific phenomenon of rock bands in the 1970s. Clear Fleetwood Mac inspirations (that's a good thing!). 

The whole premise of the book as a series of interviews worked well, though I think it mostly worked because I listened to the audiobook. It might be less successful in a different format.

Minor spoilers:

I'm so glad that I didn't go into this book expecting a twist. I think it's good that I read Malibu Rising first because that one didn't have a twist. This book is much more similar to The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo in that way. I also didn’t love the twist itself because I think it colored a lot of what came before without actually reckoning with that at all.
