The Final Revival of Opal & Nev

blows daisy jones out of the water in so many more ways than the writing alone

while i usually hate comparisons between books that are barely related, i think that in terms of a fake oral history about a fictional music act, this does everything that daisy jones & the six fails to do. opal & nev is contextualized heavily in the music world that they're supposedly supposed to exist in, and how their existence alone moved history. the commentary made about the music industry and profit being prioritized over creativity was something that was hit right on the head. and the complicated relationship between the two leads is one of interest and not just a big hazy question mark. because of all this i think this book is more for music lovers who understand that context and the realities behind the music we enjoy is just as important as every hit single.

also daisy jones has NOTHING on opal jewel
