Taylor Jenkins-Reid is an excellent storyteller, and the cast of voices that brought this novel to life in its audio format were just as good (I would especially highlight the performances of Karen, Billy, and Daisy - man, they brought the characters to life). I am not sure if I would have rated the book as highly if not for those stellar performances. Though, in all its simplistic documentary-style way of presenting us a story, Daisy Jones and the Six still stand out in the nitty-gritty glamour of the golden age of rock n roll. As an admirer of bands like Fleetwood Mac and a keen interest in this period in modern American history, the plot of this book simply reeled me in. How very exciting that the music is now coming to life by the help of musicians like Phoebe Bridgers - it’s almost a full-circle moment for me.
