Reviews

Las últimas 30 páginas de esta historia son un nudo en la garganta. Y luego, cuidado con volver a leer la “nota de la autora” de la primera página, lagrima segura, ademas todo hace sentido.

Como siempre; TJR construye personajes memorables, y sobretodo complejos. Es una delicia leer personalidades así, con tantas capas, que te permitan empatizar y también a ratos, quieras gritarles hasta de lo que se van a morir.

De este libro me llevo varias cosas, al principio pensé que solo iba a entretenerme por un rato, pero wow, quedó sorprendida de la cantidad de cosas que me he cuestionado; familia, amigos, patrones, creencias, etc. Agradezco haberme dado la oportunidad de acercarme a esta novela, para nada me arrepiento y estoy segura, la llevaré por un largo rato presente en mi vida.❤️

Daisy Jones is a gorgeous solo-artist on her way to fame and a sure death by overdose, if she keeps using. The Six is a rock group on the rise. Lead singer Billy just got clean for the love of his family, and he’s ready to live life sober in a rock and roll world. When these two forces combine, they form into a complex look at love and expression and struggle. The thing is that we KNOW this story. We KNOW how this goes- how it has to go. I started listening to the audiobook, thinking I was going to hate it when the story turned into some love story between Daisy and Billy because that sort of thing had been done before...except it hasn’t- not the way Reid does it. Reid doesn’t reinvent the wheel; she reminds us what the wheel looked like to begin with. Reid’s characters aren’t just sex-driven, drugged up rock-n-roll stars. They’re complex, funny, broken people. I loved this portrayal of bad situations and how the different band mates battled these problems. As usual, my favorite characters were the side characters. I loved Karen Karen’s story, and Judy Greer has this beautiful, high-pitched and sophisticated voice. Warren was entertaining as well. Ari Fliakos’ interpretation of this laidback, loving drummer came off as a hilarious mix of Goodfellas meets the Dude. Warren tells it how it is-not in a judgements way, but more “I’ve had a lot of time to think, and this is how I see it”. Listen to this audio-drama to hear a great cast tell an amazing story!!

livro ótimo pra ler num feriadão e fingir que não tem nada mais para fazer. outra coisa que eu gosto muito é que a narrativa me lembra de um documentário jornalístico - só que no formato escrito.

no jornalismo há uma regra de apuração que devemos procurar 3 fontes ou mais para relatar um fato. aqui, a autora utiliza o pov de diversos personagens para construir a narrativa de forma tão verdadeira que eu jurei por alguns momentos que aquele livro era de não-ficção

além disso, por motivos pessoais, agora me sinto muito apegada com o exemplar de daisy jones que tenho

TJR is the queen of making us believe that every single character she writes is a real person
