I love love love this book! Taylor Jenkins Reid has quickly become one of my favorite authors and this book did not disappoint. The world of 70s rock has also intrigued me: the culture, the drama, the drug influence, the glam, etc. This book takes you right into that setting and you feel as though you’re experiencing everything with the characters. Daisy is a strong, female main character who doesn’t take no for an answer and knows her worth. Despite all of her positive qualities, she is still deeply human and makes ill-informed decisions. All of the characters represent different types of people who have different backstories but are united by the creation of the band Daisy Jones and the Six. The interview style makes this book fly by but doesn’t take away from the descriptions of the setting and the how intimately we get to know the characters. If you love Fleetwood Mac and romance drama within a band, please please read this book!!

I couldn’t enjoy the book fully until closer to the end when everything was coming together. But it was worth it ! This isn’t a book with excitement and adventure, but having the steady pace and mellow vibe (though the content is heavy) really made me appreciate this book. It definitely reminded me of why it’s important to slow down and read thoughtfully. :)

Meant to review when I first read this but totally forgot! To be honest - I watched the show (on prime) before I read the book. Didn't even know there was one! I got absolutely obsessed with the cast music for a while and just needed more content, so I bought the book. 
This book is absolutely fantastic. It's done in an interview style, interviewing fictional characters about fictional events in the past. The characters are all flawed, which makes them so human and makes the story all the better. You will be annoyed with most of the characters at least once. I have always been a fan of music in this genre- my CD/vinyl collection will give that away- and I just loved the style of this book. The story absolutely pulls you in, despite the fictional history take, and you get engrossed in the lives of these band members. I found it actually annoying whenever I had to put this book down, and given the option I would have read it all in a day. 
Honestly speaking, you don't need to read the book to enjoy the show, and you don't need to watch the show to enjoy the book, and if you do both the order doesn't matter much. Wonderful read if you have a spare weekend- you will NOT want to put it down!!
I do, by the way, recommend the album (cast recording, it's called Aurora) even if you don't watch the show. It is phenomenal.

After watching the series (which I liked more than I thought) I wasn't thinking straight away about reading the book tbh. I took it up some time later and, to my surprise, didn't put it down. It was a real nice read. I put at times the soundtrack of the show on in the background and finished it fairly quickly ( the interview format style makes the whole book a real quick read-through). Had fun was totally worth it!
