First of all, the format of this book was so well done I'll admit I had to Google to make sure Daisy Jones and The Six were in fact a fake band. Documentaries have gained in popularity in recent years and while I haven't read any (or watched many, either) this one was a fantastic read. It's provocative, emotional, gritty, each character brimming with so much personality especially in the audiobook version (I love it when there's a full cast!). I think Karen was my favorite, followed closely by Warren. Billy was exactly the kind of man I hate- Eddie was bang on about him- but I understand and appreciate his growth towards the end of the book. I personally did not understand Camilla and Billy's relationship, how they were able to stay together through everything... I have a lot of trust in my husband, but there were a lot of... extremes here. I guess that's kind of the point. 4.5/5 stars.
