Daisy Jones & the Six is another great book by Taylor Jenkins Reid. If I were going to nitpick, I would say her style of an 11th hour child-related plot twist only really works the first time (and I read Evelyn Hugo before I got StoryGraph), but that is a minor thing. The ending also feels a little abrupt. But I love the level of detail, and the inclusion of the lyrics from the album in the back. I love the messy tension between Billy and Daisy. I love fictionalized versions of things we tend to use to share the truth, like a documentary or like an academic paper (House of Leaves ftw), and this obviously delivered in that realm. I wish I had listened to it as audiobook, but by the time I realized that was the best format, I wanted to read the book too much to wait for that version.

This isn’t as good as Evelyn Hugo but DAMN does it come close. An absolute must read for Fleetwood Mac fans.

I enjoyed Evelyn Hugo, Malibu Rising, and Carrie Soto so I thought I should check this out because I'm still craving for tea

First of, this was a fun book in a format I really enjoy. Also enjoyed the setting and just vibing along to the events and the discrepancy between each character's version.

However, I was expecting something really hard core, because this was the rock and roll scene!! People crashing and burn. 

There was so much build-up as you read trying to figure out how this up and up band abruptly ended. And the climax fell flat in the face of that build-up. Maybe that's the point, but even then, the whole thing just didn't feel as gritty as I was expecting.

Maybe I would have enjoyed this more if I read this as an audiobook but I feel like this was too short and vanilla for what it was trying to depict. Yeah there was some serious drug abuse going on but, I don't know, I just didn't get the sense of the consequences enough.. I don't know how to describe it. Just that, even though some of what was happening was really messed up, the writing made it feel bland.

All in all though, it was still a fun read
