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.

The narrators’ performance was fantastic, but this book felt like it went on forever and the ending climax wasn't dramatic enough to really keep me interested. It took me so long to finish because I had to force myself to pay attention to it because I really didn’t want to. I don’t really get the hype behind it 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Daisy Jones is a book that I feel lived up to the hype. It’s a really fun, quick read that still gives you a lot to think about. I really liked the interview style it’s written in, which I thought was pretty unique. I liked that we got to see each character’s story and their thoughts. The characters were complicated and I loved them and I hated them at different points. The roles of the female characters in the book were so important to me. I would recommend this to anyone drawn to the glamour and drama of a 70’s rock band or someone who’s looking to get out of a reading slump.
