SHORT STORY I liked it. Kind of surprising as ... ⬇️⬇️⬇️

* I'm not a fan of the multi-cast audio book but in this case, given how this story is told, I see that this was an almost necessary choice. And it works.

* I don't have huge love for rock star/celebrity stories when they focus on that aspect of their lives and this is the story of a band and it's members from inception to demise. IMO the author keeps it pretty authentic to personalities & types.

* As one would expect of a story that takes place in the rock ‘n' roll world, particularly in the ‘70, there's a lot of drug & alcohol use, addicts, and their behavior. Not my favorite thing to read about.

* Daisy Jones is ostensibly the main character. The one front & center. The one everyone in the narrative oohs & aahs about. I. Did. Not. Like. Her.

Even if you share some of my manias I would still recommend this as an enjoyable story and very well produced audio.

*** Shout out to my girl Camila. The true heroine of the story and she wasn't even a member of the band.
