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.

3.5 stars! i definitely think the audiobook would have been a better experience because the characters did get jumbled up in my mind, but this book was so unique and fun! i would love to read another oral history like this
3.5 stars. Entirely readable and entertaining but ultimately pretty empty. Just made me want to go back and watch Almost Famous again.

Since I listen to books more times than not, I feel this book was absolutely great for listening. The cast was terrific! I really enjoyed the different perspectives of the same events. If felt realistic to how different personalities affect the way people observe and interpret circumstances. This is my second TJR book to read (hear), and I am honestly surprised how many people didn't like it. I really enjoy when an author can write in a non-typical format. To me, it made sense for this story to be written in an interview style. I think the feeling and struggle of each character was better portrayed than if the book had been written in the typical third person perspective. I also really enjoyed the small twist at the end when we learn who the one conducting the interviews is.
Because I read her previous book, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, I was expecting somewhat of a similar style of writing. I wasn’t expecting the book to be very much more interview-based, but I didn’t mind it! Again, another great book/spinoff of my favorite band Fleetwood Mac. Also loved the Amazon Prime adaptation with their custom album :)
