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!

How is Daisy Jones and the Six not a real band?! I want to listen to their songs and watch their performances! This was such a different and brilliant story! I felt like I was sitting in on an exclusive interview with the band and it was great! We really get to explore how different personalities, relationships, issues and dynamics impact the group as a whole. I love books written from different perspectives because you get so many layers to the one story and having so many different perspectives in this book really gave the reader an insight into the many layers included in this one story.
I cannot wait for this book to be adapted for our screens!
