Really well written, incredibly compelling. Especially a great audiobook read because of the star power behind the readers for each character!

Daisy Jones and the Six is the book to read for anyone who ever went through a Fleetwood Mac phase. This book completely captures the drama, angst, magic, and appeal of what being THE rock band of the 1970s must have been. This romanticized group, at the top of the world, all struggling with the lowest lows that makes them entirely human. The thrill of young love, the appeal of fame and drugs, the heartbreak of lives that don’t align with the loves that we long for. While I usually hate live triangles, Reid did it exactly right. There was no physical affair, but the emotional connection feels even more traitorous. I wanted nothing more than for Daisy and Billy to be together, but also knew that at THAT moment, they weren’t supposed to be. Maybe it’s the fictionalization of a band I have always loved, a realistic love connection, or the world that Taylor Jenkins Reid built, but this book was able to transport me into this story. I laughed, cried, cringed, and played the Amazon soundtrack on repeat for a week. Believe the hype, and read this one!

Fans of documentary style dramas will appreciate the confessional style and pacing. TJR does a masterful job creating an alternate pop culture where none of the characters are real but they all *could* be real. The twist toward the end was nice but it felt a little forced and didn’t really give the reader time to fully grapple with what it meant. It was surprise for the sake of surprise and didn’t really change much about the story.  Even so, it was a beautiful yet fun story about complicated people and my only regret is that I can’t on a Wikipedia deep dive about all of them.
