The songs that were stuck in my head while I was reading this were Rhiannon and The Chain, both by Fleetwood Mac. Because this felt a bit like a story about a band like them. I was afraid of this book at first, it was soooo hyped and I was ready to be disappointed, because whenever I cave in and read a hyped book I end up not seeing what people are seeing in it (i.e Bunny, Conversations with Friends, The Song of Achilles (yeah, I said it)...) But this one was wonderful, I see what the readers saw and I felt how they felt. It's a wild ride, very fluid writing, emotional, extremely well built characters, not a single page was superfluous, nothing was out of place or redundant, and the characters were oh so endearing. Every single one of them felt like a main character at a certain point in the story. And Daisy... I could see Daisy in my head, the epitome of sex, drugs and Rock'n'roll with a depth and an edge, you know, the kind of characters that feel so real, to the point you can't believe they are fictional. I felt Daisy though absolutely nothing in my life has anything to do with hers. That's how good Taylor Jenkins Reid's writing is. This was the quintessential summer read for me.
