The story didn’t grab me from the first moment on, I dreaded going further and then decided to put it down. This was not the story for me, and that is okay!

This is the story of a fictional 1970's rock band told through interviews of everyone involved. I was drawn in immediately and read through the first 100 pages rapidly. After that, a lot of it felt kind of cliche, and I almost lost interest. I told myself that I hoped something unexpected happens. Reid does pull this off, and the rock and roll mythology plays out up to the end. There are a few small surprises. What I liked best is the goddess archetypes the women represented: Daisy as Aprhrodite, Camila as Hera, Karen as Athena. This is something I recognized, never stated in the book. But I loved the representations of the women fully formed and with lives of their own. It is not always the way it felt at that time, and in the rock world especially where male energy dominates. Kudos to Reid for rounding it out.

Such a unique style! I honestly don't think I've read a book like this before, it flows really well.

Really loved this book. If you can listen to the audiobook, I highly suggest it. Probably the best audiobook I've ever listened to. I couldn't stop listening-- not because it is fast-paced and exciting, but because I was invested in the characters and hearing their stories.

The book is almost like a netflix doc, never read a concept like that, though super easy to read. Taylor Jenkins Reid does really a remarkable job of describing the charactets to the most intricate of details which just tempts you to try to google some of them. Easy and fun read :)

Okay so this book is slow but as an audiobook? I was obsessed with listening to this. The story was so well written I had to remind myself that this wasn’t real. The characters were complex, the emotions were complex, and the ending was exactly what I wanted it to be (wasn’t shocking but was satisfying) I don’t know maybe that’s the point bc daisy jones was captivating and so was listening to this. I really wish I could have actually listened to the albums they made and that’s why I gave it 5 stars because I was so invested in this which means the book is doing it’s job

I've read this book before, but it truly comes alive when you listen to the audio. Everycast member nailed their character, there was so much emotion in each performance! If you haven't read the book yet you should totally start with the audiobook!
