Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

4.0

I'm not even embarrassed to say that I adored that book. I know a lot of people don't like it, but it's probably one of my favourites from TJR.

Embarrassed to say that when I was 20 pages in I put the band name into Spotify and google because I was convinced that they were real… the authors note at the beginning just threw me off.

No, but TJR really did a great job with the kind of interview genre, and as I never read a book like that, it was really fascinating to read. She really made it her thing. I'm impressed by her talent.

The women in this book are all so strong and vibrant. There are so many powerful messages about empowering women, not taking anybody's shit, supporting other women, and demanding credit where it's due. Even the side characters have been explored in depth. And I loved the friendship among all women even during the love triangle.

In addition, Camila is stronger than me because the way she treated all those things, I probably would have left him.

I respect and admire how substance abuse was written in that book. It has shown the truth of addiction, but has also left a glimmer of hope and recovery for those in this situation.

Overall I loved the cruelty and reality in this book, and how the book did not hesitate to show serious topics. I liked the story from beginning to end, I didn't see the end coming, but I wasn't let down she gave a good end to the book. I honestly can't wait for the TV show.
