Rating: 5/5 stars
Told in the style of a music biography, this is the story of the biggest rock band of the 1970s…and why they fell apart.
I first read Daisy Jones back in 2020, and decided to listen to the audiobook recently after finishing up the amazing Amazon Prime miniseries adaptation. As much as I loved the book the first time, my experience rereading it was absolutely incredible, and I have no hesitation in saying this is now officially one of my favorite books of all time.
I’m far from the first to review this one (especially this past month or so) so I won’t spend too much time rehashing opinions that are already everywhere, but if you’re looking for just one more nudge to read this one…I’m begging you to go and pick it up.
Recommended to anyone, but especially if you like: historical fiction; music/entertainment industry; unique formats
CW: Drugs/addiction; mentions of abortion; mentions of infidelity
Original Review (Jan. 2020): The best book I never expected to like. Suffice to say, I trusted the hype and I’m so very glad I did. Wildly creative, original, and full of drama and unexpected heart. Read this as soon as you get the chance.
