This book is clearly for boring white girls who dream of home wrecking a famous persons life. If that’s you then yeah this books for you. Boring characters and plot and it goes nowhere it’s like a sad list of white people bullshit and facts.

Absolutely devoured this book. TJR has a way of developing complex characters that I don’t see often and it’s very apparent in this book. Loved the ups and down that everyone went though and would love to reread with the added context of

Julie being the interviewer/author of the book.

Very fun and quick read with many emotions in between, would definitely recommend, but look at content warning just in case.

Love the innovative format. Really hated the characters and had no sympathy for them.* But honestly, I'm not a TJR fan. This was my third and last book of hers. I understand why the hype--it's the format and the idea of the story. And maybe the execution, but I really hated reading this and was happy to be done. I just don't care about these people. I do not care about celebrities in my real life and don't care about them in my reading life. 

*I watched the TV show based on this hoping to love it more. Nope. Though I thought the actors did an amazing job.

I was so dissapointed with this book and don't really understand the hype that seemed to surround this book when it came out. Maybe it just wasn't meant for me.

Daisy Jones & the Six is another great book by Taylor Jenkins Reid. If I were going to nitpick, I would say her style of an 11th hour child-related plot twist only really works the first time (and I read Evelyn Hugo before I got StoryGraph), but that is a minor thing. The ending also feels a little abrupt. But I love the level of detail, and the inclusion of the lyrics from the album in the back. I love the messy tension between Billy and Daisy. I love fictionalized versions of things we tend to use to share the truth, like a documentary or like an academic paper (House of Leaves ftw), and this obviously delivered in that realm. I wish I had listened to it as audiobook, but by the time I realized that was the best format, I wanted to read the book too much to wait for that version.

I wanted to love this book but I had a hard time getrig into it. I finally got through it on the third try. I do think I enjoyed it better as an audio book than I would have a paperback as there were different readers for different characters
