Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

WOW.

HOLY CRAP.

Why didn’t I pick this book up sooner? I know it’s sort of a ‘historical fiction’ which was why I stayed away from it at first. but WOW.

I loved the audiobook. The full cast made this book come to life and it made me wish that these people were real, that their music existed.


Daisy Jones Book Review

This post contains affiliate links, see my site disclaimer for more details.

TJR is a master at storytelling. Everything in this narrative is woven together so well. I loved the interview style that it was written in. I didn’t even mind the swearing at all (and there’s a lot) because it just fit with the story. It’s all about drugs, sex, and rock n roll and I just wanted more. I need more.

I loved the raw grittiness of Daisy. Even though you couldn’t actually hear her sing, she was just the same person she was in her songs that she was throughout the book. She was who she was, no regrets and no questions asked. She didn’t care what anyone thought and wow, my heart just ached for her and for the entire band throughout the story.

Daisy Jones will fill you up, keep you on the edge of your seat, and tear your heart into a million pieces, then slowly start to stitch it back together again.

10/10. 5/5. Daisy Jones and the Six is possibly my favorite book of 2020. Now I need a physical copy because I need this book on my shelf.

I cannot wait for the tv show that Amazon Prime is doing.

I will also give a disclaimer that there is swearing in this book, lots of talk about drugs because there are addicts, and alluding to sex but nothing steamy in that regard.

About Daisy Jones & The Six

Everyone knows Daisy Jones & The Six: The band’s album Aurora came to define the rock ‘n’ roll era of the late seventies, and an entire generation of girls wanted to grow up to be Daisy. But no one knows the reason behind the group’s split on the night of their final concert at Chicago Stadium on July 12, 1979 . . . until now.

Daisy is a girl coming of age in L.A. in the late sixties, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock ‘n’ roll she loves most. By the time she’s twenty, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things.

Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne. On the eve of their first tour, his girlfriend Camila finds out she’s pregnant, and with the pressure of impending fatherhood and fame, Billy goes a little wild on the road.

Daisy and Billy cross paths when a producer realizes that the key to supercharged success is to put the two together. What happens next will become the stuff of legend.

The making of that legend is chronicled in this riveting and unforgettable novel, written as an oral history of one of the biggest bands of the seventies. Taylor Jenkins Reid is a talented writer who takes her work to a new level with Daisy Jones & The Six, brilliantly capturing a place and time in an utterly distinctive voice.

Purchase from Amazon or your local indie bookstore or grab it in your next Book of the Month box for $9.99 (and use my link to get this month’s book for just $5).

    Have you ever met a bookstagram friend in real lif Have you ever met a bookstagram friend in real life?!  Tonight, me and my sis met up with Ashley (some of you knew her from her old account Ashley the reader) we’ve met up before, but this time we remembered to take a picture!  It can be so easy to get caught up in the numbers here on intstagram. To forget why you started. I joined bookstagram because I wanted to talk about books with people who also liked books. But the relationships I’ve made have been so special and life changing!  I’m grateful for each friend I’ve met here. If we talk often in DMs, know that if I ever talk to my husband about you I say “oh my friend _____ said this today” y’all are the real deal and so many of you have been my lifeline to adult connection as I became a mom and again as we have been living through the pandemic!  All this to say, send that DM to someone. Start the conversation. You never know if you’ve just met a new, life long friend! 💕
    “He is risen! He is risen! Tell it out with joyf “He is risen! He is risen!
Tell it out with joyful voice.
He has burst his three days’ prison;
Let the whole wide earth rejoice.
Death is conquered; man is free.
Christ has won the victory.  He is risen! He is risen!
He hath opened heaven’s gate.
We are free from sin’s dark prison,
Risen to a holier state.
And a brighter Easter beam
On our longing eyes shall stream.”
- He Is Risen hymn  Happy Easter friends 💕

For me it’s @authorsarahadams 😍😍 I finished The Off Limits Rule earlier this week. This book had me laughing out loud and I honestly loved every second!  If you’re looking for something fun, quick, and light hearted, then this book is for you! It’s a closed door romance, so most of the steam happens off the page, which I didn’t mind.  This book made me super happy and the second book in this series comes out next week and I can’t wait to read it (and everything else Sarah’s written)  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - it was exactly what I needed right now and I’m so glad I picked it up!
