I feel this book is like a slow bubble. When you blow too much into this bubble it becomes much bigger, and eventually it explodes. That’s the story here in Daisy Jones and The Six.
The book lacks amusement up until the middle part when the band actually becomes, well, a band, but then it recovers itself only to fall down at the end. Because, seriously, what the hell was that ending? So unsatisfying, but not in a cool way like The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo; I didn’t like it at all.
About the characters there’s not much to say other than 1) they have a big ass memory; and 2) they are all so unlikeable as they are human.
Camila is so selfish yet I understand her reasoning.
Billy is a waste of talent and seriously needs a therapist.
Eddie should stop complaining all the time.
Karen is okay but sometimes kinda ‘not like other girls’.
Graham seriously needs to get his shit together. He acts like a nice boy who thinks every girl (Karen) needs to love him only because he’s kind and respectful (???
Warren by far the best character. He doesn’t give a damn about anything and loves his job. He was so overlooked.
Daisy… I began hating you but you are like the Sun. Shines so bright, it hurts your eyes. And beautiful.
Good book. Gonna watch the TV show now.
