Did anyone else realize that this was fiction before the end? 🤯 I was googling stuff the entire time!
A great read.

Fans of documentary style dramas will appreciate the confessional style and pacing. TJR does a masterful job creating an alternate pop culture where none of the characters are real but they all *could* be real. The twist toward the end was nice but it felt a little forced and didn’t really give the reader time to fully grapple with what it meant. It was surprise for the sake of surprise and didn’t really change much about the story.  Even so, it was a beautiful yet fun story about complicated people and my only regret is that I can’t on a Wikipedia deep dive about all of them.

Taylor Jenkins Reid's books are hyped for a reason. After listening to The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, I knew I wanted to listen to Daisy Jones and the Six. I listened to both on Libby, and WOW, the audiobooks are SO well done. For this novel, the cast of character voices is alive, dynamic, weighted, emotional, immersive. Reid is masterful in her character work, creating people you truly connect to, even if you have nothing in common. They way she writes about love and life through her characters is utterly captivating. She seems to always include a twist that pulls the reader in even more. The formats of the two books I've read from her are unique and full of so much detail you really start to wonder how it could be fiction. I couldn't recommend this book more. I can't wait to watch the series and listen to the album!
