Me encantó este libro, cuando empezaba a leer no quería parar.
Es el segundo que leo de esta autora, y por ahora mi favorito.
Los personajes son interesantes y la narración en forma de entrevista da mucho juego, hace que la historia no tenga un solo narrador aunque haya dos claros protagonistas. Me gustaron mucho los momentos en los que contaban algo y el siguiente en hablar lo recordaba de forma distinta, era gracioso y realista, y también ayudaba a definir la personalidad del que hablaba.
La historia de 10, todo muy intenso y emocionante.

Spoiler

Aunque la duración del grupo fue corta, estaba todo tan bien hilado para llevarlo a su fin, que me encantó un final tan repentino pero a la vez natural.

En general todos los personajes están muy bien escritos. Me gustó mucho Daisy, pero Billy me gustó aún más, su parte de la historia me parecía más interesante, con más matices.
Es un libro que me ha encantado de principio a fin, y seguro que lo volveré a leer.

wow, that was a piece of a great book. nuanced, well-written, fun to read.

i loved, once again, the way Reid creates female characters - complex, complicated, powerfull, unapologetic, full of rage and with a big heart at the same time.

the dynamic between the characters was just *chef's kiss*.

glad for the author to make such good choices within the plot - which were apparently much better for the book itself, rather than to please the readers. it made the story have many more layers and depth you can explore

4.1/10

Enjoyed the narrative technique of the novel — characters recounting events in an interview, engaging in dialogue with the interviewer.

I was impressed with how Jenkins Reid’s wrote her characters’ dialogue so conversationally. It was convincing and effortless.

I liked the stark discrepancies and contradictions between characters when recounting events. They were all unreliable in that way and I like how the story leaves the truth unclear.

I have a love/hate relationship with novels that are about music. It’s the same dissatisfaction I feel when watching cooking shows. You can describe it and show it to me all you want but it’s not in my mouth.

I consumed this novel via audiobook and really loved that there was a full cast. It was like I was listening to a play on the radio. It was so emotive and artistically done. Arguably one of the best audiobook narrations I’ve heard.

I found the ending of the band sudden. We all knew it was coming but yet I still found the way it was written anticlimactic and incomplete somehow, and not in a satisfying literary way.

I found the attempt at actually writing the band’s hit song “Honeycomb” and playing it at the end of the audiobook embarrassing??? You can’t write a novel and paint a picture about how extraordinary and talented and huge this band was and then expose my ears to whatever that was and expect me to say, yes, people definitely would have gone crazy over this song. It was cringey.

This was my second Taylor Jenkins Reid novel after reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I prefer Seven Husbands to this book, but I definitely recommend Daisy Jones & The Six and really enjoyed this book - more than I was expecting. I don't have much knowledge on 70's rock 'n' roll culture and don't really like that music genre, but I finished this in less than 24 hours and loved it!

TJR creates such an intense, captivating, serious-yet-light-hearted mood with her writing style. She really draws you right in, and the oral-history style formatting of this fictional novel was enjoyable to read. The characters are all so different and the varying perspectives of the same situations are a reminder of our own flawed humanity, unique individuality, and inner worlds.

This is a great read if you're looking for an escape into another world or a quick beach read. You'll be rooting for, disappointed in, and inspired by the characters- some of them evoking all of those emotions simultaneously.
