Daisy jones & the six is an emotional read, once you can get beyond the setting that you’ve seen dozens of times. It does feel too real at times with the documentary style, where the author has essentially plucked out a real band and situation and re-written it with other names and dates. However, it’s a nice easy time.
It’s interesting hearing about all of these people with dreams and everything gets tangled with love and drugs and their relationships with themselves and how those aspects just make it impossible… How all of these people fall together and then have no choice but to walk away in spite of what they want and what they could have all together. It’s heartbreaking in some ways, but reassuring that you’re not the only one going through life as a victim of circumstance. It’s a human experience and we’re all humans (even rockstars).
