This is a MUST READ I just didn’t give it a 5 star as there was so many characters it was hard to keep up at first, but as the story goes you understand why there had to be that many characters.
I highly recommend reading the audiobook version as I think I found myself more immersed, knowing their voices (seeing as it’s a rock & roll band story) plus with so many characters, knowing their voices helped significantly.
It’s a story of a band in the 1970s that lived the rock & roll lifestyle, what they got up to, how they sky rocketed to fame and towards the last 15mins where they were now. I really believed that the main focal of this story was on Daisy Jones, one character and the rest would play secondary, but this was not the case at all.
All characters got the same amount of air time and their stories were all as important as Daisy’s. Very well written, I don’t know how she wrote it the way she did but it was done amazingly.
The writing technique was an interview of the band and Daisy Jones, but it was so well written that it didn’t feel like it was a simple interview and a “where are they now” story, Taylor Jenkins Reid took you on the journey of The Six and Daisy Jones, even Simone’s (Daisy’s best friend) story was finished and rounded nicely.
Another amazing read from Taylor Jenkins Read! This is the 2nd book I’ve read by her, the first being The 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, any Recs for which I should read next by this Author?
