Somebody inject this book into my bloodstream. I friken loved it. Gonna go watch the show now. The characters were just so well written with complex thoughts and emotions and I felt for all of them. A super interesting format for a book too which worked amazingly. I wish there was more of it. Taylor Jenkins Reid hasn’t missed with any of the book I’ve read by her. In audiobook form it feel even more real with the distinct voices as if it’s really interviews. Just gorgeous.

it's so hard for me to read or watch about infidelity, it makes me sick to my stomach, but god this book can be an exception.
Daisy Jones it's not a girl's girl, but i can't blame her

cause Billy didn't help with that either, Camila deserve  better, she's literally an angel

This is such a good book, the format is awesome for a history like this.

I LOVE IT

I was introduced to this story through the Amazon Prime series and enjoyed the audiobook cast and what they brought to the characters. The listening experience was fantastic and I found myself thinking about the characters and their decisions when I was away from the book. My one critique is that the song lyrics are cringe-inducing and distract from the emotional moments when the songs are being written and later performed. But overall, it was an engrossing read that I highly recommend others try!

Overall this was a really enjoyable and easy read. It is romantic but not raunchy. The characters are relatable and likable and I felt invested in the story. The group dynamics were funny and the relationships interesting. I really enjoyed the historical setting of rock and roll in the sixties. It was cool and fun, and the book almost felt like a study of that scene and era.
My only issues with this book are that the characters and tropes sometimes felt cliche, especially Daisy was emphasized as the ultimate cool girl in a way that made her not feel like a real person. Though that may be a purposeful demonstration of her celebrity image. It also lacked an intense climax, potentially as a result of the interview format.
