This book will be a contender for one of the best books I’ve read this year. I didn’t expect some things and it’s technically not a thriller but it’s one of those books that will sit with you. One that you’ll think of randomly from hearing a certain song or that you see something that you would picture would be perfect for the setting. One I’m going to have a shelf trophy for.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
When I saw the hype surrounding this book I immediately got the audiobook. It took me a while to get started because I was afraid that somehow I wouldn’t feel the same way… Boy was I wrong!
If anyone wants to give audiobooks a try, I highly recommend listening to this one. The story is told through an interview by an entire cast! Which means you get completely immersed in the music scene of the seventies.
I’m not going to give to much away about the tale itself but there’s a plot twist in the end that I didn’t see coming. This book felt so real that it made me question whether this really was fiction?

“'When people asked for my autograph, I used to write, “Stay Solid, Daisy J.” But when it was a young girl—which wasn’t often but it did happen from time to time—I used to write, “Dream big, little bird. Love, Daisy.”
This book by Taylor Jenkins Reid reads like an interview with the band members from Daisy Jones & the Six. All tell their side of their journey of becoming the biggest band of their time and the costs of achieving it.
When I started this book my expectations were sky high. I wanted to know if this book was as good as the hype made me believe. And although I needed some adjustment with reading almost a transcript kind of novel, I immediately felt the music. I saw the characters changing in rock ‘n roll stars, heard them performing and was witness of the struggles surrounding the music industry and world fame. And all the while I saw the image of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks while reading this book; hence my reel from a few days ago.
So I did enjoyed this book a lot. It transported me to that period and I really felt submerged in the seventies surrounding their music. And still… I did miss certain things.
The romance was painfully complex and I knew I had to feel all the feels, but I didn’t completely. Maybe because of the way this novel has been told; as I did missed some multilayers into the characters.
But besides these minor details I liked it a lot. In fact I long for more books with the seventies or a rock ‘n roll band at its core. Because that, that was the strength of this book. A recording of a of stars rising and being witness of that.
