This book makes me want to read a biography of Fleetwood Mac in the 70s - I enjoyed it a lot, and I know enough about that era to get a lot of the parallels here, but I'm pretty sure the real band was even more dramatic and drugged-out. I liked the oral-history style of the narrative here, especially as I got further in and was able to tell all the characters apart. The downside is that there wasn't really much getting into any character's POV or thoughts, since the oral history device puts everything at a remove of 30 or so years. Despite that, I really did enjoy this, especially the two twists at the end which I won't spoil here. One is similar to what happened in [b:The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo 32620332 The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo Taylor Jenkins Reid https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1498169036s/32620332.jpg 46885151], but felt a lot more natural here, for whatever reason, and the other was unexpected but really satisfying. This is a beach read in the best sense - fun, juicy, and easy to read. (Also, I love Karen. Just saying.)
