Daisy and Billy cross paths when a producer realizes that the key to supercharged success is to put the two together. What happens next will become the stuff of legend. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I decided to read it because I love TJR and the fact that it comes out as a series soon. I love the dynamic of the group, especially Daisy and Billy. The flaws of the characters were so well written and how they got on with each other. My favourite character has got to be Camila because she was just such a strong character and I can't wait to see her character brought to life on screen. I'd recommend this book to everyone.

I just don’t know how to feel about this book!!! I hate it so much I love it? Or maybe it’s the other way around???

TJR has an undeniable talent for transporting readers to a special place in time. Her distinct sense of voice is easy to get lost in. When you combine that voice with dynamic, lively settings like 1970’s SoCal, TJR’s storytelling really soars.

The characters in this novel feel well-developed, although not fully in all cases, as with band members Warren, Pete, and Eddie. Graham and Karen are underrated and I wish we could’ve seen a bit more of them, both together and individually.

Daisy and Billy felt the most dynamic given their roles as main characters. But my real struggle with this book came from the pure un-likability of Daisy Jones. There was not a moment that I found her bearable or sympathetic. Her selfishness, immaturity, and manipulation of people around her were like nails on a chalk board. I was not able to connect with her on any level.

Billy was just as unlikable as Daisy, but was more accessible in his journey of sobriety and parenthood. The real difference between him and Daisy being that he put in the work to achieve the life he wanted for himself and his family while Daisy simply didn’t.

I would never have finished this book if not for Camila. She is the hero of this story and a worthwhile character to root for. Camila is what gives this book life, which I assume is exactly what TJR intended. Camila is the readers way into the story. She is most of us; on the outside of fame looking in. Without her, this world of fame, drugs, and rock’n’roll would feel too removed for us to truly find a place of redemption in it.

With grit, devotion, and two very different women, TJR brings to life a fleeting moment in time that remains a pivotal piece of US and music history.

Everyone had their insufferable moments except for Camila, Simone, and Karen. Objectively they are the best characters in the entire book and no one can say otherwise.

This book was surprising. I didn't expect to love it as much as I did, to end up crying and aching alongside these characters. I just love the style this is written in, the switching of POVS in interview format really gives perspective and plays into the unreliable aspect of first person in a way that I thoroughly enjoy. We see everyone remembering things differently due to drugs, alcohol, emotions, etc and it really helps illuminate these characters and their relationships. It was like a giant puzzle that could never truly be solved because each piece belonged to a different, separate puzzle. The characterization was just so complex, so intricately and beautifully done. It served as a reminder that not everyone is perfect and not everything is one sided and that it doesn't have go be right in only one way. Just absolutely amazing writing.

i truly adored this book. TJR writes in such a way that makes you have such connection and empathy and relationship with her characters that i haven’t felt with other books. the storytelling through interview snippets cut together to piece all of the characters’ experiences and opinions from their timeline was so well done and i haven’t read anything like that before. the world she created was so real, i devoured the book in 24 hours and still every so often was googling to check if this was a real band or not :’) it’s made me ever so excited for the upcoming series!

I hated the first ~80 pages of this book. And, then, I fell in love.

Somehow, DJ&T6 was both everything and nothing like I had expected it to be. I appreciated it all the more for that.
