Sooo good. It’s filled with such a deep complexity of feeling. It feels so real.

Warren is my spirit animal.

Really enjoyed this! I like that both this and Evelyn Hugo felt like incredibly well-researched novels about the history of different industries in America. I thought the interview format was really well done and I liked the contrast between Billy and Daisy's stories - how they clash and complement each other made it super interesting.

wow this blew me away. this is an interview-style mock-memoir that feels SO SO real. it absolutely comes alive in audio format, i think reading the physical book would be an entirely different experience. The way to do service to this creation is to listen to it (i mean, it’s literally interviews! the voice actor cast added so much nuance and emotion. they felt very tangible)

if you’re obsessed with Stevie Nicks performing "Silver Springs" straight to Lindsay Buckingham in 1997 - this book is absolutely for you.

Things that were really well done:
The portrayal of addiction, loving an addict, messy humanness, the lifestyle of rock in the 70’s, the depiction of how some people ‘float through life’ and what that looks like from the outside vs feels from the inside, and most hilariously— the way we all have some revisionist history of the past, made very obvious through conflicting interviews about the same events.

i did not expect to be so moved my this story. it absolutely had momentum and I was really heartbroken by it. throughout this story I saw Daisy Jones as a fictional version of Natasha Lyonne, both the physical description and her young life struggling with addiction.

the highest praise I can give to this book is that it felt so completely real. all the way down to things not ending up how i think i wanted them to. it’s hard to convince myself that it isn’t real, so congratulations to Taylor Jenkins Reid. what more could you ask for?
