A review by juledormels
Daisy Jones & The Six, by Taylor Jenkins Reid
5.0
“Daisy Jones & The Six” is my favorite Taylor Jenkins Reid until now (yes, I’ve read Evelyn Hugo). This is one of the few books for which you should definitely choose the audiobook version over the printed version because the different speakers add so much to the story. I know that I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much if I read the book because I would’ve been annoyed by the perspective changing after every few sentences and I would’ve lost track of who is who which didn’t happen with the audiobook because I got used to the different speakers very quickly.
Taylor Jenkins Reid is very talented in writing novels in interview form without making it feel like the protagonists are just answering questions. I adored almost every character, especially because they were all flawed in their own way and I was able to identify with most of them at one point or another because they were all very raw and honest. It felt like I was sitting in the same room with Daisy and Billy when they were writing songs and I’m a little sad that I can’t actually listen to the fictional songs lol
I loved how every female character in the novel was very carefully put together and how I organically got to know more and more nuances of their personalities throughout the plot — that doesn’t happen very often when there are several female protagonists, especially because the focus wasn’t set on one specific character.
