Book Description
Everyone knows DAISY JONES & THE SIX, but nobody knows the reason behind their split at the absolute height of their popularity . . . 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.
My Thoughts
I have read a few other Taylor Jenkins Reid's books, and I know she is a great writer. Had all the intention to read Daisy Jones and The Six, actually last year, but as often happens, other books got on the way. I finally read Daisy Jones. Took me less than three days and OMG, loved it.
I know this is a well known book in the book community. Book of the Year at Book of The Month. I had seen and read nothing but great things about it. Not much else I can say that has not been already said. I loved how fast it reads, how every character has the chance to tell their stories, and that unexpected narrator. A pleasant surprise.
Really enjoyed Daisy Jones and the Author, as always, very different from her other books, but the great writing and stories never stops.
