This was a fun book! The idea and writing style made it a fun read. Not a writing style I’ve tried before, but I loved it! Definitely worth reading.

The characters have a lot of issues that all combined together made their work environment difficult for them to navigate. But it wouldn’t have been the same story without it. Also feel like there were some things left unsaid and why they broke up and each character’s memories of why wasn’t fully addressed, which was a main point made in the blurb. 

Still, it was an enjoyable read and I’m excited to watch the show!

Wow.umm . It’s a good ass book i mean it made me cry at the end i hate billy but also im rooting him and i think daisy is a badass bitch that if i would meet in real life i would probably be in love with her. It took a while before anything Really interesting happened but when it did it HAPPENED the writer wrote the interview format so well it’s amazing. In conclusion Camila is the greatest woman alive. Men are icky. Especially in the 70s i would read it again.

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.

This was an incredible read! Devoured this book! As a musician/singer/songwriter myself I really enjoyed this. Loved the journey TJR always takes me through in her book/, im just so in love with her writing style. You really feel like you’re there and start to believe they’re a real band. It’s just incredible! 5 stars deserved.

I honestly love taylor jenkins reid. her books pull me back into reading each time I go astray. the characters intrigue me, the writing has a simultaneous simplicity and depth, and the narrative always feels so finished and full. unsure how else to describe it. btw I think karen and I belong together but thats besides the point. bye

I listened to this book in an audio format, and I highly recommend that everyone does this. 

Taylor Jenkins Reid's 'Daisy Jones & The Six' and 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo' are extremely reminiscent of one another. If you liked one, then I can almost guarantee you'll like the other. 

Reading this book for the first time - not having read the blurb - and heading into this story blind, I was thrown off guard that we were delving into the life and the backstory of a singer and a rock and roll band from the seventies. We were introduced to so many characters very early on that played so many integral parts. And that came across as a little confronting, but that evoked confusion is deliberate. 

This book is written in a documentary-style format that takes you across the span of years with Daisy Jones and the band known as The Six. It features their rise to fame, their challenges across that time, and their eventual split. 

The characters were so well fleshed out already, and that was all the more satisfying with how well this book was narrated. Listening to how each character talked, the emotions in their voices, the pauses, the breathiness, and the laughter, gave the reader/listener this whole new depth in how they could submerge themselves into the story. I genuinely felt as if I was watching a proper interview with the characters, just without viewing it in front of me. I found it so incredibly fascinating. 

The main themes behind the book were thought-provoking, but also really genuine in their mundaneness. All the characters' struggles were real-life struggles. All the conflicts were valid to the main storyline, but they were also complimentary to the time, and to the characters themselves. Nothing felt out of place or too extreme, or too far-fetched. 

All in all, I think this book was a phenomenal read. However, for me, I found that I was comparing this book back to Evelyn Hugo a lot more than I wanted to. I loved that damn book, and because I loved that book, this one paled slightly in comparison. I think it will depend on what you read first. Should that turn you off this book? Absolutely not. Daisy Jones and The Six will be characters that I never let go of. 

I voluntarily read and reviewed this book, and all thoughts and opinions are my own.
