Daisy Jones and the Six is the book to read for anyone who ever went through a Fleetwood Mac phase. This book completely captures the drama, angst, magic, and appeal of what being THE rock band of the 1970s must have been. This romanticized group, at the top of the world, all struggling with the lowest lows that makes them entirely human. The thrill of young love, the appeal of fame and drugs, the heartbreak of lives that don’t align with the loves that we long for. While I usually hate live triangles, Reid did it exactly right. There was no physical affair, but the emotional connection feels even more traitorous. I wanted nothing more than for Daisy and Billy to be together, but also knew that at THAT moment, they weren’t supposed to be. Maybe it’s the fictionalization of a band I have always loved, a realistic love connection, or the world that Taylor Jenkins Reid built, but this book was able to transport me into this story. I laughed, cried, cringed, and played the Amazon soundtrack on repeat for a week. Believe the hype, and read this one!

The characters were interesting if a little frustrating in their decision making. I really enjoyed the interview style that it was told in but I wouldn't recommend listening to the audiobook as I usually do with this style. it was a lot easier to read it physically than listen to it.
