This book was okay. While I admire the creativity of writing the whole story like an interview, I don’t think I much liked the format as a reader. I’m also confused how they can be such a hit band with only, like, two albums. And honestly, there wasn’t really any twist like I was expecting—like there was in Evelyn Hugo. So I guess…I don’t know, this book wasn’t much my thing, and I don’t think going forward, books about rockstars are my thing either.

4.0

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.

I loved this book! TJR has a talent for writing books that feel very real. I really enjoyed the format and listening to the audiobook because there was a full cast of characters. There was a fun twist near the end and I love thinking about how the many narrators are telling slightly different stories and may or may not be unreliable. The characters were complex and full of depth and such a joy to read about the entire time.
