Daisy Jones & the Six is another great book by Taylor Jenkins Reid. If I were going to nitpick, I would say her style of an 11th hour child-related plot twist only really works the first time (and I read Evelyn Hugo before I got StoryGraph), but that is a minor thing. The ending also feels a little abrupt. But I love the level of detail, and the inclusion of the lyrics from the album in the back. I love the messy tension between Billy and Daisy. I love fictionalized versions of things we tend to use to share the truth, like a documentary or like an academic paper (House of Leaves ftw), and this obviously delivered in that realm. I wish I had listened to it as audiobook, but by the time I realized that was the best format, I wanted to read the book too much to wait for that version.

Not sure why this took me so long to read, but from the review of another friend who read it, it seems like the audiobook would have really brought it to life more! Definitely appreciated it more toward the end, and that ending!! Camilla is a saint, y’all.

I absolutely adored this book. I was hooked from the few few pages and couldn’t put it down! It’s so unique in its style of story telling, and I loved the oral history take on such an interesting premise!! The characters were so fun, and truly felt like real people. I’m not one to choose books about music but I’m glad to have decided to go for this one. There is something raw and special about Daisy Jones and the Six. 
Cannot wait to own re-read and annotate this book for myself.
