You heard it here first: Taylor Jenkins Reid is a new favourite
I remember watching the movie Almost Famous and my life changed. Being introduced to rock roll in the 70s, the drug and the tours, everything put a spell on me. Reading Daisy Jones was exactly that; I loved the scene around how Daisy Jones and the Six was formed, the process of creating their songs and most definitely how the story is told from different perspectives.
Here is the thing about TJR book characters; you can't root for them, most of the time they got on my nerves because TJR captures them in their most vulnerable, putting all their flaws and imperfections in the air, not sugarcoating their decisions. But the moment their lives in on the verge of collapse, I feel so disrupted, wanting to protect them and look for answers alongside them. TJR writes stories about people you can meet in your life, people that at one time was a friend, a neighbour, an aunt or a sibling.
