Honestly I was expecting more from this story. I enjoyed hearing a full cast read the book, but, unfortunately, I felt a lot of the dialogue seemed forced or unrealistic for them to be saying. It took me out of the story.

SYNOPSIS
  • It is the late sixties in LA. Daisy Jones is a teenager, and her parents don't really care too much about what she's doing. She is partying & gets into the groupie scene of sex, drugs, and rock n roll. Everyone is always stunned by Daisy, and she is beautiful.
  • She is a naturally gifted singer, and wants to write her own music & sing. At twenty, she lands a record deal, but the execs don’t want her to do her own songs:
  • Simultaneously, The Six, fronted by the enigmatic Billy Dunne, is gaining notoriety. However, on the verge of their inaugural tour, Billy's girlfriend Camila discovers she's expecting, sending Billy into a tailspin as he grapples with impending fatherhood, his addictions, and the demands of stardom.
  • Daisy and Billy's fates collide when a savvy producer recognizes the electric potential of uniting them.
  • Daisy starts by opening shows for the Six, but eventually, they join forces & rename themselves Daisy and The Six.

MY THOUGHTS
  • Major Fleetwood Mac + Stevie Nicks vibes.
  • This is TJR’s 5th book that I’ve read. I have read: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Carrie Soto is Back, One True Loves, & Forever, Interrupted. 
  • TJR is such an incredible writer, and I loved this one. Seamlessly flowed.
  • Super engrossing & engaging read. Impossible to put down.
  • Excellent character development. Character-driven story, and they all felt realistic & multi-faceted. 
  • The structure & writing style was unique and excellent. It is set up as if it is a documentary or history of a real band, with compilation of interviews with all the band members. I loved seeing the way everyone has different memories of what happened.
  • Satisfying ending.
  • Impactful look at addiction.

TL;DR: ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐️⭐️Major Fleetwood Mac  + Stevie Nicks vibes. TJR is an incredible writer. Character-driven & beautiful story.
