Reviews with content warning for Addiction - Daisy Jones & The Six

I couldn’t enjoy the book fully until closer to the end when everything was coming together. But it was worth it ! This isn’t a book with excitement and adventure, but having the steady pace and mellow vibe (though the content is heavy) really made me appreciate this book. It definitely reminded me of why it’s important to slow down and read thoughtfully. :)

Meant to review when I first read this but totally forgot! To be honest - I watched the show (on prime) before I read the book. Didn't even know there was one! I got absolutely obsessed with the cast music for a while and just needed more content, so I bought the book.
This book is absolutely fantastic. It's done in an interview style, interviewing fictional characters about fictional events in the past. The characters are all flawed, which makes them so human and makes the story all the better. You will be annoyed with most of the characters at least once. I have always been a fan of music in this genre- my CD/vinyl collection will give that away- and I just loved the style of this book. The story absolutely pulls you in, despite the fictional history take, and you get engrossed in the lives of these band members. I found it actually annoying whenever I had to put this book down, and given the option I would have read it all in a day.
Honestly speaking, you don't need to read the book to enjoy the show, and you don't need to watch the show to enjoy the book, and if you do both the order doesn't matter much. Wonderful read if you have a spare weekend- you will NOT want to put it down!!
I do, by the way, recommend the album (cast recording, it's called Aurora) even if you don't watch the show. It is phenomenal.
