Reviews with content warning for Death of parent - Daisy Jones & The Six

I listened to the audiobook which I would highly recommend for this. This book was read right after The 7 Husbands of Evelynn Hugo and at least for me this gave me a lot of what I needed from that book. More perspective different viewpoints. There are no huge plot twists and there's not an ending that will leave you feeling like you know anything for sure but can allow you to create an ending beyond the end for yourself.
You'll find yourself pulling out the 70s rock and imagining what it was like to be witnessing the rise of some of the biggest rock bands in the era. The world that Taylor Jenkins Reid created in this book was rich and vibrant and easy to be brought into. She explores some of the complex issues humans face in life in a much more indepth way than she did in Evelyn Hugo and I think it was really needed

I enjoyed Evelyn Hugo, Malibu Rising, and Carrie Soto so I thought I should check this out because I'm still craving for tea

First of, this was a fun book in a format I really enjoy. Also enjoyed the setting and just vibing along to the events and the discrepancy between each character's version.

However, I was expecting something really hard core, because this was the rock and roll scene!! People crashing and burn.

There was so much build-up as you read trying to figure out how this up and up band abruptly ended. And the climax fell flat in the face of that build-up. Maybe that's the point, but even then, the whole thing just didn't feel as gritty as I was expecting.

Maybe I would have enjoyed this more if I read this as an audiobook but I feel like this was too short and vanilla for what it was trying to depict. Yeah there was some serious drug abuse going on but, I don't know, I just didn't get the sense of the consequences enough.. I don't know how to describe it. Just that, even though some of what was happening was really messed up, the writing made it feel bland.

All in all though, it was still a fun read
