I mean, what a story! The drama of a super famous 70s rock band is such an inherently interesting topic, and then you add the framing device of the story being told through interviews with the members? So fascinating! The way the interpersonal drama unfolds is so much fun to read. This is also a great book to listen to as an audio book if your version has different narrators for the different characters, because that truly brings the interviews alive.

Basically, this book has a lot of the stereotypical "rock star lifestyle" and people struggling with it, so drugs and alcohol are heavily present. Plus some stuff about what it's like to be a young woman in a world where a lot of men are willing to take advantage of her in multiple ways.

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.
