Everyone knows DAISY JONES & THE SIX, but nobody knows the reason behind their split at the absolute height of their popularity . . . until now.

Daisy is a girl coming of age in L.A. in the late sixties, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it's the rock 'n' roll she loves most. By the time she's twenty, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things.

Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne. On the eve of their first tour, his girlfriend Camila finds out she's pregnant, and with the pressure of impending fatherhood and fame, Billy goes a little wild on the road.

Daisy and Billy cross paths when a producer realizes that the key to supercharged success is to put the two together. What happens next will become the stuff of legend.

The making of that legend is chronicled in this riveting and unforgettable novel, written as an oral history of one of the biggest bands of the seventies. Taylor Jenkins Reid is a talented writer who takes her work to a new level with Daisy Jones & The Six, brilliantly capturing a place and time in an utterly distinctive voice.

my first tjr book! i listened to the audiobook and the characters and everything felt so realistic, it was written in such an honest way if that makes sense and i loved the little twist at the end.

Maybe my favorite audio book I’ve ever listened to. I don’t know if I would have given it 5 stars if I hadn’t listened to it, but having voice actors do every character and allowing them to use real emotion and acting was awesome.

As for the book, I really loved it. The writing was incredible. The story was very sex, drugs, and rock&roll, but also deep longing and heartbreak.

Call me a bandwagon reader idc I’ve become a sucker for Taylor Jenkins Reid novels and they hit every time. I’ve heard good things about the show as well so I’m looking forward to binging that one. Again, I like how every character is flawed and no one is a saint. Rlly humanizing.
