formatted like a documentary, Daisy Jones & The Six follows this band through their rise to stardom and subsequent break up. The characters are incredibly realistic and their emotions and behaviours are very real, all of them are unreliable narrators so it’s funny when you read something from one person and then it’s told differently from another. I don’t have any personals experience with addiction but i think that topic was handled with tact.

The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because it didn't make me cry.
7HoEH made me cry like crazy, and while this is emotional, it didn't push me river the edge.
