Reviews with content warning for Drug use - Daisy Jones & The Six

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!

I've been meaning to read Daisy Jones & The Six for a long time and I'm glad I finally did (hope you're happy, megan). The story focuses on overarching themes of love, optimism, habits and hope, as you experience the retellings of the past, character by character . Whilst some of the characters give 'pick me energy', it is truly how well the plot is driven and the story unravels itself piece by piece which makes it such an fasctinating read.

TJR can definitely write a book. There was so much I enjoyed about this book; the writing was incredible and it held my interest the entire time. But, it didn't give me that 5 star feeling and I think that's down to the themes not being for me.
