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.

This book was really something. I loved that is was written as fake oral history. That is such an interesting concept that I have never seen before. And I think it was so well done. When I reading this book, I felt like I was looking back on those memories with them. I’m remembering the emotions of everyone in the room that day. I especially felt that when they went on SNL I felt like I was one of the people watching it live.

I loved that you could never fully trust one character on what happened (especially Daisy), the story had a different feel depending on who was telling it. I thought that was really well done. It was a lot of fun to read. 

I cant decide who was my favourite character, it had to either be Karen or Camila. Karen was just so cool i loved her but Camila added this dimension to the book that i loved, she was also just so cool. 


Favourite quotes: 
- "Just Daisy singing and me on the keys. That’s it. Just two bitches playing rock ‘n’ roll." - Karen
-  “i think in order to be happy like i’m happy, you need different things. and i want you to have whatever those things are.” - Camila

taylor swift songs that embody this book:
- august (daisy)
- midnight rain (karen and graham)

Good and entertaining with a few really good lines but honestly was a little disappointed bc I hyped it up so much in my head. Reading it did make me think there were a lot of things I like better in the book but there were a lot of things I liked better in the show.
