Daisy and Billy are the two main characters and I found them both equally irritating. Daisy grew up in questionable ways and is just a mess. She's constantly drunk or high, in abusive relationships, and completely unreliable. Only her incredible, innate ability to sing keeps her around. Billy is super pious and sanctimonious, acting like the group mother hen. Obviously, with such different personalities, there is quite a bit of conflict between the two of them. While I did mostly enjoy the conflict between the two of them, at times I also found it a bit exhausting. It's just such a dysfunctional relationship that you want to shake them both.
The other band members are part of the story too, but to a lesser extent. While they have some good side plot lines, I felt like I actually would've liked a bit more about them. They were a nice break from Daisy and Billy.
I will say that I think TJR really nailed the 70s rock aesthetic with this book. It felt super authentic and even though I knew it was fictional, I could've almost believed that Daisy Jones And The Six was a real band. Clearly, she did her research for this one!
All in all, I thought this was an enjoyable read that really nails the 70s rock and roll vibe. If you like music and personal drama, you'll enjoy this!

Secondly, Daisy Jones and The Six was beautifully executed. The story is just as thrilling as it is magically atmospheric and at the same time perfectly halarious at just the right times.
The unique way it is written makes the experience of reading it maybe a little difficult for some, but also memorable and different from other books with the same kind of plotline.
I loved it. But I took my time with it. I don't think that this is necessarily a book you would want to read in a sitting. Let the characters settle with you a bit. Give them time and I think you also will enjoy this book a lot.

“I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else's muse.
I am not a muse.
I am the somebody.
End of fucking story.”
“Men often think they deserve a sticker for treating women like people.”
“I think you have to have faith in people before they earn it. Otherwise it's not faith, right?”
“I used to think soul mates were two of the same. I used to think I was supposed to look for somebody that was like me. I don't believe in soul mates anymore and I'm not looking for anything. But if I did believe in them, I'd believe your soul mate was somebody who had all the things you didn't, that needed all the things you had. Not somebody who's suffering from the same stuff you are.”
“I wish someone had told me that love isn’t torture. Because I thought love was this thing that was supposed to tear you in two and leave you heartbroken and make your heart race in the worst way. I thought love was bombs and tears and blood. I did not know that it was supposed to make you lighter, not heavier. I didn’t know it was supposed to take only the kind of work that makes you softer. I thought love was war. I didn’t know it was supposed to… I didn’t know it was supposed to be peace.”
“Passion is...it's fire. And fire is great, man. But we're made of water. Water is how we keep living. Water is what we need to survive.”
“She had written something that felt like I could have written it, except I knew I couldn't have. I wouldn't have come up with something like that. Which is what we all want from art, isn’t it? When someone pins down something that feels like it lives inside us? Takes a piece of your heart out and shows it to you? It’s like they are introducing you to a part of yourself.”
“When you think of me, I hope it ruins rock 'n' roll”
