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.

Such an interesting format and it works well!! I like how the characters, no matter how little or how much they speak, have a life of their own. Very much a showing rather than telling novel. I like how complex the characters are and how it very much did feel rock'n'roll.

I know that they are reading as the book is written, but for some parts, it was difficult to track who is speak and who is who.

I couldn’t enjoy the book fully until closer to the end when everything was coming together. But it was worth it ! This isn’t a book with excitement and adventure, but having the steady pace and mellow vibe (though the content is heavy) really made me appreciate this book. It definitely reminded me of why it’s important to slow down and read thoughtfully. :)
