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.

I didn't love this book through most of it and just kept thinking, there are so many REAL bands that I'd love to read about, why waste time with this made-up band?? I know. Why read fiction then? It made no sense, but I was having a hard time with it. Then I slowly got into the characters and realized this wasn't just about a band but about life and love and relationships and how messy it all is, sometimes of our own making.

I really did like this, but I struggled and it took me a while to get through this book. Immediately the format the book make me question if it was even worth reading. It felt like reading something out of a history book. I decided to follow along with the audiobook and I highly recommend for anyone else to do the same. I loved that Daisy wasn’t the only voice we heard from because if she was, I probably would not have finished this book. Or I would have given it a lower star rating. I think, of all people, Karen was my favorite and her story made me feel so emotional.
