Reviews with content warning for Addiction - Daisy Jones & the Six

This book was written in such an interesting style - interview form. Which I was nervous about to begin with, but it made it read extremely fast.
The twist about who is conducting the interview had me geeked to the moon, and totally had me rethink everything else I thought about in the beginning.
The book had me feeling all the emotions, and honestly I cried at the end.

Really enjoyed this! Easy listen with a great cast. Expertly written - perfectly paced to swell and twist at just the right times. Loved the moments early on when I started the doubt certain characters (saying what they wanted to believe rather than the truth). The ending didn’t wow me but definitely tugged at my heartstrings (and made me want to watch the new tv show!). Overall, I liked how this had a little bit of everything - romance, adventure, conflict, and, if course, rock ‘n roll 🤘🏼

I listened to the audiobook version of this, which was fantastic. The voice actors really did a phenomenal job, and although there were a few times I didn’t know what character was speaking, the ensemble cast was perfect.

As for the book itself… this is like flipping the channel and watching a documentary about a band you’ve never heard of. And watching hours of it because you’re mildly curious and you’re too lazy to change the channel. I felt myself wishing that I was listening to the actual music/album instead of watching the documentary about it.

This is a slow build. The first half of the book took me a really long time to get through. I didn’t really care too much for the characters, and it wasn’t until the second half where I started to feel a bit more invested - and where hearing the different characters’ perspectives added depth to the story. By the last quarter of the book, I started to care about Daisy, Billy, Camila, and Karen but then it ends.

It’s a decent read but just wished I had enjoyed it more, especially given the hype.
