This book is absolutely life changing. I’ll say it once, and I’ll say it again: Taylor Jenkins Reid is a freaking genius!!! The way she can engulf you into the character’s minds, problems, ambitions, and love is incredible. This book is so beautiful in the way that she will write about all the ugly stuff about being famous in the music industry while also highlighting the good stuff. The way she writes about Daisy Jones’ drug problems and her complicated intricate mind is enough to make you wonder if you want to be her or you don’t want to be her. The writing in the book is written in an interview format so it is from multiple POV’s which shows a lot about the character’s mindsets and views in life. Billy’s entire relationship with Camilla and Daisy is so complicated and intricate that it can be seen as beautiful when you think of it deeply. The emotions and heartbreak presented in this story are written so well it makes you feel like you are the character experiencing it. Taylor Jenkins Reid gives you everything you should ever want in a book written about a 70’s rock band. Love, drugs, sex, rock and roll, anger, complicated relationships, and found family. It is definitely a book that will keep you thinking long after your finished and in between breaks. So so so so beautiful. Go read it.

Daisy Jones gives me life and kinda reminds me of a mix of Amy Winehouse and Janis Joplin.

4.75

Original review, 2020: 4.5/5 ☆ character driven, no strong character development, complicated adoration with the characters, not diverse, yes flaws are a main focus! 

Second review, 2022: 4.75/5 ☆ character driven, stronger character development, still have a complicated adoration/love for these characters but are much more likable and relatable, not diverse, and yes the flaws are a main focus. I even noticed more flaws this time around 😅 this book has held true since the first time I read it. I loved it then and love it even more now! Definitely still one of my favorite books. I found so much that I related to now and from my past (like I did first time around but more so). Definitely a reflective and emotional story. This is one of those books where I don't care for the loveable nature of characters and character development bc these characters are just so raw and fleshed out. Do wish that they were my diverse though. But, I'm dying to reread it and watch the TV adaptation on Amazon Prime Video!
