The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because it didn't make me cry.
7HoEH made me cry like crazy, and while this is emotional, it didn't push me river the edge.

Loved it. While reading it, this book made me feel very cool, like I could do all those things even though I never would. Very emotional and heart-wrenching at times.

Daisy Jones & the Six is another great book by Taylor Jenkins Reid. If I were going to nitpick, I would say her style of an 11th hour child-related plot twist only really works the first time (and I read Evelyn Hugo before I got StoryGraph), but that is a minor thing. The ending also feels a little abrupt. But I love the level of detail, and the inclusion of the lyrics from the album in the back. I love the messy tension between Billy and Daisy. I love fictionalized versions of things we tend to use to share the truth, like a documentary or like an academic paper (House of Leaves ftw), and this obviously delivered in that realm. I wish I had listened to it as audiobook, but by the time I realized that was the best format, I wanted to read the book too much to wait for that version.

I am extremely late jumping on the Daisy Jones bandwagon, but here I go. Initially I started reading this in physical book form but it didn't grab me in the way I thought it would. I had bought the audiobook ages ago and switched to the audiobook with this which really worked I think because of the interview style of the book the audiobook made more sense tp me to me as hearing the voices of the actors playing the characters really made a difference to how I engaged with the story. The characters whilst not always likeable were engaging except for Eddie who was just a p@&£?. I think my favourite characters were Camila and Karen although I had a little crush on Graham who was cool. The ever evolving situation with the band was interesting but it didnt enthral me as much as I was hoping. This was my first Taylor Jenkins and despite not maybe loving this as much as I thought I will continue to read her books.
