Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
5.0
I'm not crying, you're crying!
Taylor Jenkins Reid is quickly becoming my favourite author for historical fiction, even while "bookending" her narratives with a contemporary aspect, which is probably my least favourite genre. Twisting emotions and drawing out drama that I would usually avoid like the plague - TJR catches you in the first chapter and just does not let you get away.
I listened to this on audiobook with a full cast, each narrator bringing to life a character with a vibrant and realistic personality. Daisy was anguished but stunning; Billy was so experienced yet so naive; Graham and Karen felt like real people and even Eddie was perfectly, unbearably annoying. They were all so well-developed and as the story unfolded, you just couldn't stay detached.
Camilla was easily my favourite character and even as the band headed for disaster, you could anchor yourself to her, the same way that Billy did. And as Taylor Jenkin Reid likes to throw one last gut punch at the end of her stories, she did with utter devastation in this one. In my opinion, unnecessary but heart-rending. This is going to move all her other novels up on my TBR, but I'm going to have to prepare myself for more emotional wreckage.
