 I loved this book! The characters were layered and nuanced - something that I'm coming to expect from Taylor Jenkins Reid. And the audiobook was phenomenal for this format - interviews and articles. Each character had their own voice. I felt like I was listening to a documentary, not a fictional book. The emotions that each actor put into their character's words was so well done, probably the best that I've ever listened to.

It's a book about rock n roll - lots of sex, drugs, and alcohol.

I listened to the audiobook of this and didn't know anything about the book so I went in with zero expectations. It actually ended up being a really enjoyable listen!

The way the audiobook adapts the interview transcripts of the physical book is so clever with the use of incredibly talented narrators that make each character feel alive. I am not sure whether I would enjoy the physical book as much as the audiobook, but I would definitely recommend to give Daisy Jones and the Six a listen as the storyline and characters really lends itself to the audio format.

I was so dissapointed with this book and don't really understand the hype that seemed to surround this book when it came out. Maybe it just wasn't meant for me.
