As a lover of Rock n’ Roll, and someone that has Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours” record album framed and hanging in their home, I have to say, I absolutely TREASURED this book. It without doubt lived up to all of the hype. It gave me all of the 70’s band feels. Taylor Reid’s writing technique of doing the book in oral history format, interview style, was so genius and unique. It unquestionably MADE this book and was extremely successful. I felt like I was transported back to the 70’s and was a friend of the band as I read and could not wait to find out what would happen next., This book gave us everything rock bands from that era gave us; sex, drugs, love, and a rock and roll. I fell in love with Daisy and all of the band members. Oh how I wish this was a REAL band and “Aurora” was a real album. We learn about Daisy in the beginning where she tells us, “that some people only want a piece of you. I lost my virginity to somebody that…it doesn’t matter who it was. He was older, he was a drummer.” Daisy has parents that could care less about her. She is young, and out alone walking the streets of L.A. on the Sunset Strip, going into bars, and dreaming of one day being able to sing and be a part of a band like the ones she watches perform. Then there is Billy, a handsome, confident lead singer, who starts out as a drug addict but straightens his life out because he does not want to lose his wife Camila. When Daisy and Billy collide, and start making music together, it is magical. You can tell that they would make an amazing couple, but Billy is already committed to Camila., The book takes you on a roller coaster of emotions, the relationship between Daisy and Billy, and then the relationship between Billy and his wife Camila. He tells us, “when you really love someone, sometimes the things they need may hurt you, and some people are worth hurting for. Love is forgiveness and patience and faith and every once in a while, it’s a gut punch. That’s why it’s a dangerous thing, when you go loving the wrong person. When you love somebody who doesn’t deserve it. You have to be with someone that deserves your faith and you have to be deserving of someone else’s. It’s sacred.” I think it is admirable that Billy stays devoted to Camila the entire book, even though it is more than obvious that he absolutely loves Daisy. It is also almost unbelievable that he never relapses minus his one shot of tequila towards the end of the book. The amount of strength it would take to be a part of a rock band in the 70’s, with everybody drinking and doing drugs and to not slip up and partake proves his love for Camila and his daughters. Daisy makes mistake after mistake in her own life (including marrying a drug addict Italian prince) to try to mask the feelings she has for Billy. It takes Camila towards the end of the book, once they are out on tour, telling Daisy that Billy will never choose her over his family, for Daisy to leave the band and get her life together., You really fell how amazing the Aurora album is when Nick Harris describes it, “It sounds like a good-time album when you first listen to it. It’s an album you can play at a party. It’s an album you get high to. It’s an album you can play as you’re speeding down the highway. But then you listen to the lyrics and you realize this is an album you can cry to. And it’s an album you can get laid to.” AHHHHHHHH, AURORA how I wish you were real., Long live ROCK N’ ROLL! What a remarkable book!

My only dislike is the FONT used on the white pages. It’s so light you can barely see the words. Would like a better copy. Picture sent too.

I love love love this book! It was so good, I read it in literally a day! It was written so beautifully I forgot it was actually fiction! I cannot get over it and am meeting with a group of girls to discuss it next week! I’m giving it 4 stars not because of the illustration but because the book came a little dirty, so that was kind of disappointing. But overall, the book itself was so so so so good! I hope the series does not disappoint after reading this!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? The last page gave me goosebumps. I I really thought this was gonna be an overrated book, but i don’t think enough praise can be said about this book. Taylor Jenkins Reid continues to prove to me that she’s deserving of all the hype she gets. This book was brilliant. I can’t tell you how many times I was tempted to google this band because I’d get so lost in the pages thinking this was real. I’m obsessed with how the author wrote every character, and how you became to fully know these characters only through the dialogue and the retellings of other characters. It was brilliant the way Reid chose to tell this story. I’m completely obsessed with Daisy’s character, “ I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else’s muse. I am not a muse. I am the somebody.”
