This is one of my favourites. I love everything about this book. If you’re a Fleetwood Mac fan, you’ll love, not only the overall aesthetic of the characters & setting but, the familiarity of Daisy & Billy’s tumultuous relationship, which echoes that of Stevie Nicks & Lindsay Buckingham. Stevie herself has now admitted how much of herself she sees in Daisy Jones. 
This is always my go to recommendation for anyone in a reading slump or anyone who loves the whole 70/80s era of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. 
The tv series is one of very few that does its book justice but, I think to truly appreciate this story, the beauty lies in the details within the book.

I really wanted to love this book and at first I thought I would but it was just so toxic and I really didn’t find Billy or Daisy likable as time went on. 

I actually considered not finishing a couple times. I feel like this just goes with the stigma of musicians being addicts, drunks, destructive, and partying all the time. Sprinkle in some homewrecking and cheating along with some supposedly great music and that pretty much sums up this book. The ONLY lovable character was Camila, ugh my baby 🫶🏼 however a few times I was questioning her logic but I guess it all worked out in the end. 

I can see how some people really love this book but, I could’ve went without.

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

This book is clearly for boring white girls who dream of home wrecking a famous persons life. If that’s you then yeah this books for you. Boring characters and plot and it goes nowhere it’s like a sad list of white people bullshit and facts.

Absolutely devoured this book. TJR has a way of developing complex characters that I don’t see often and it’s very apparent in this book. Loved the ups and down that everyone went though and would love to reread with the added context of

Julie being the interviewer/author of the book.

Very fun and quick read with many emotions in between, would definitely recommend, but look at content warning just in case.

3.0

The oral history framing was cool at first but I quickly was bored by it. I also felt like the stakes were too low and I rarely felt any tension. The middle was a bit of a slog to get through even though I did want to know what would happen.
