I was so dissapointed with this book and don't really understand the hype that seemed to surround this book when it came out. Maybe it just wasn't meant for me.

Daisy Jones & the Six is another great book by Taylor Jenkins Reid. If I were going to nitpick, I would say her style of an 11th hour child-related plot twist only really works the first time (and I read Evelyn Hugo before I got StoryGraph), but that is a minor thing. The ending also feels a little abrupt. But I love the level of detail, and the inclusion of the lyrics from the album in the back. I love the messy tension between Billy and Daisy. I love fictionalized versions of things we tend to use to share the truth, like a documentary or like an academic paper (House of Leaves ftw), and this obviously delivered in that realm. I wish I had listened to it as audiobook, but by the time I realized that was the best format, I wanted to read the book too much to wait for that version.

I wanted to love this book but I had a hard time getrig into it. I finally got through it on the third try. I do think I enjoyed it better as an audio book than I would have a paperback as there were different readers for different characters

Stayed up 2 nights in a row to finish this. Couldn’t put the book down since page 1. Everything about this book is insane. The characters weren’t even nice or lovable. But I get them. Fuck Eddie tho. Man could burn in hell eternally. Graham too for how he made Karen feel. Shout out to the only Karen who matters ever. The only book that does a “love triangle” involving a marriage right. Ever.
