3.0

This book was okay. While I admire the creativity of writing the whole story like an interview, I don’t think I much liked the format as a reader. I’m also confused how they can be such a hit band with only, like, two albums. And honestly, there wasn’t really any twist like I was expecting—like there was in Evelyn Hugo. So I guess…I don’t know, this book wasn’t much my thing, and I don’t think going forward, books about rockstars are my thing either.

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.

Reid has a knack for writing these fiction biographies that feel absolutely real. It's easy to forget that Daisy Jones & the Six were not a real bad. She blends real-world music history seamlessly with their fictional lives. She captures the rock and roll world of the time beautifully. The characters are tragic, hopeful, ugly, and beautiful all at once.
