mushr00mcore 's review for:
Daisy Jones & The Six
by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Edit: bumping down to two stars.
I liked this book, I really did, but it just felt like there was something it was lacking. I felt no real emotional ties to the characters, no matter how much I adored Daisy, Karen, and Camila.
One thing that annoyed me towards the end of the novel is how Taylor Jenkins Reid seemed to have an idea of how a woman should be. It was not the demure and shy vision of a woman, quite the opposite, actually, but their seemed to be a condemnation, a subtle one, of the women like Karen, who tried to be 'one of the guys', and generally, of the women that were not as brazenly bold, confident, and domineering as Daisy. Not only did I disagree with the message, it seemed to weaken the book itself since it seems so clear that the Daisy we are reading about is not someone we should aspire to be.
That, I think, is the only solid thing I can say lead to my middling rating of the book. Other than that, it was just the feeling that the book was missing something, and I can not quite tell you what I think it was.
I can sure why so many people loved it as much as they did.
