A review by jessmele
Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

5.0

This book is by far one of my favorites, and I don’t say that lightly. This book had everything I would’ve wanted in it. I love characters that are flawed, I love complex feelings & emotions, I love historical fiction, and I love Fleetwood Mac (which Daisy Jones & the Six is based off of). And this exceeded all of my expectations.

At first glance I thought the full interview format might cause this to suffer from “telling not showing,” but the amount of subtext and interpretations and differing accounts leaves loads of interpretation to the reader—which I like.

I also want to point out how addiction is portrayed. There is no romanticizing addiction in this—it shows the true horrors of addiction and how it affects everyone around you too. It shows you the reality of what addiction is without glossing it over.

I cannot recommend this book enough.
