Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reed tells the story of one of the biggest bands in the 1970’s. Daisy Jones & The Six played to sold out crowds from coast to coast up until July 12 ,1979 when the band split leaving their fans shocked. Nobody knew why the band had come to an end until 40 years later when a documentary is released explaining everything.
I'm so upset with myself for not reading this book sooner because I absolutely devoured it. I loved the writing and I could not get enough of the story. I forgot multiple times that I was reading a book about a fake band and it honestly breaks my heart that Daisy Jones & The six arn’t real(I mean they kinda are a real band now sooo).
The characters where so 3 dimensional, I went from loving to hate to loving them over and over again. They where all so complex and they all really showed how messy love and life is.
By the way my favorite characters are Graham and Karen, who also happen to be my favorite couple as well, and no before you ask I'm still not over how they ended.
The only reason I'm giving this book only 4 stars is because I did feel like it was a little to long and I got a little bored at moments.
Overall, I very much enjoyed this book and I've already started another book by Taylor Jenkins Reed.

Unfortunately, it suffers from the Taylor Jenkins Reid signature issues of cheap plot twists and poor writing of women of color. The reveal of the interviewer being Julia wasn’t particularly interesting, and Camila and Simone existing basically to serve Billy and Daisy’s needs and tell their stories was disappointing, considering they’re the only women of color in the book.
That said, Daisy and Karen are interesting, and I connected with Karen’s parts. There was a lot of thought there to make her distinct and to depict a woman who doesn’t want kids and knows that.
Overall, the show is an example of how some writers are best when tempered by other contributors. The changes to the show, not least the addition of Bernie and Camila’s role as photographer/early manager, make this a much stronger story. Reading it after watching the show made it feel underbaked.

Addiction and infidelity are major themes in this book, discussed specifically and at length. There is a non-graphic abortion scene and discussion of the emotional fallout between a couple. There is an allusion to sexual assault/sexual coercion at the very beginning, but it isn’t explicit.mermaidsherbet's review against another edition
