Book review: Daisy Jones & The Six

Friday, July 12, 2019



Hi beautiful!

I've kind of gotten out of the habit of posting about books, but I recently read this beautiful story and I just had to share it with you guys! If you love heartbreaking love stories you will absolutely adore this one. It's worth it - try and give it a go.

Daisy Jones & The Six is a story about the 70s - drugs, sex and rock'n'roll. All the characters in this book were seriously flawed which I really, really like. I've gotten a bit sick of too-perfect-to-be-real characters and I'm so excited more authors are exploring the darker side of their heroes. 

Here is the blurb for Daisy Jones & The Six:

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.
For me, this was the standout novel of 2019 and I am so glad I finally picked it up. I'm currently reading the author's other novel, The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo, and also enjoying it a lot. My only criticism of this heartbreakingly beautiful book is that I wanted MORE! It ended up too abruptly for my liking and I just wanted more of the main characters. I'd love to know if you felt the same way in case you read this one.
What's your favorite book of this summer?
