Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
4.0
i couldn’t stop thinking about fleetwood mac while reading this book and it almost disturbed me, but not in a bad way. then i did my research and i found out that one of taylor jenkins reid’s biggest inspiration for the book was fleetwood mac and i wasn’t even surprised because well, we can tell.
it almost disturbed me but i didn’t know why until i really started to think about it more. i realized that it was hard for me to imagine my favorite bands and artists like that, because i knew deep inside of me that the book, though it is pure fiction, depicts a reality that we tend to ignore.
it’s so hard for me (and for all of us i guess) to imagine celebrities like that, because we idealize them, and when it comes to bands, we idealize their relationships with each other, we think that reality is what they show us when most of the time what happens backstage is completely different compared to what happens in front of the cameras.
maybe i’m going too far and i’m over analyzing but i really think that taylor jenkins reid had that in mind. and maybe i’m wrong but at least reading this amazing book made me realize something which is that we idolize and idealize celebrities too much, so much that we become completely delusional and it becomes unhealthy.
apart from that, this book was amazing, taylor jenkins reid is a genius just because of all the research she might have done for this book. she did it for all the 70’s music lovers because of the many references which made me enjoy this book so so much, and also because of the atmosphere that felt so real i mean wow not a lot of authors can do that.
