The way the audiobook adapts the interview transcripts of the physical book is so clever with the use of incredibly talented narrators that make each character feel alive. I am not sure whether I would enjoy the physical book as much as the audiobook, but I would definitely recommend to give Daisy Jones and the Six a listen as the storyline and characters really lends itself to the audio format.

Oh, honey, I can wait,
To call that home,
I can wait for the blooms and the honeycomb
I enjoyed this book so much. I'm sure the interview-style of writing might be a turn off for some, but for me it was like crack. It was so easy to read and understand; I could perfectly picture the documentary in my head as I was reading. It only took me two days and I was invested the whole way through. The characters felt so real, and I loved how everyone remembered things differently for their own reasons. (Taylor Jenkins Reid just has a way of making characters that jump off the page). I loved how they would jump back and forth between quotes from different people and how the author painted a scene just by doing that. Beautiful stuff. Everything about this book was a vibe and I was vibing.

The only thing I didn't like about the book is the fact that I'm not a huge fan of affairs... even if they're "just" emotional ones. I just don't like reading about it and I hate how prevalent they are in romance books and movies. However, I've decided not to take "points" off because, like I said previously, everything about the book feels real, including that.I like some characters more than others, but that's to be expected given that they were rockstars in the 70s. I think Camila was my favorite, though. I am so excited to watch the TV show!
