I read it because I wanted a book that was similar to Daisy Jones & the Six and this one was listed everywhere as something in the same realm. I loved the premise idea, early 2000s pop girl groups are my favorite, but I think this book was just too slow. I felt like it took getting through more than half the book to really get anything of interest. I like Cassidy and Merry’s storylines, but I feel like Rose and Yumi’s fell flat which sucked because I actually really like the idea of Yumi, but Rose was just unlikeable from beginning to end. 
I wouldn’t say it’s really anything like DJ&TS other than it being the music industry, but maybe I would have liked it more if I would have found it as a stand alone book and not a similarity between the two. 


Crying Score: None, but Cassidy and Merry had me for a minute.

This is the story of the rise and fall of a teen pop star and oh boy was it sad. Told through multiple narrative perspectives and two timelines it read like a murder mystery and felt incredibly fast-paced. I thoroughly enjoyed the diverse cast of flawed characters and the exploration of themes including sexuality, eating disorders and the dark side of fame.
