”I started singing and I looked at him. And he looked at me. And you know what? For three minutes, I think we forgot we were performing for twenty-thousand people. I forgot his family was standing there. I forgot we were singers in a band. I just existed. For three minutes. Singing to the man I loved.”

This book was a rollercoaster ride that I couldn’t get off of, and I absolutely adored every second of this beautiful masterpiece. I read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo last month by Taylor Jenkins Reid, and I absolutely adored that story as well. But, Daisy Jones and the Six is quite literally one of the best books I think I’ve ever read in my entire life.

I absolutely loved the writing in this book, not to mention the characters. The vibes were also immaculate. I’m talking full on, sex, drugs and rock and roll; and it was a blast. It was also really depressing, but it was also a blast nonetheless. These characters felt so real and fleshed out, and I adored them all so much in their own ways. I loved Daisy, who admittedly reminds me of Reid’s other heroine Evelyn Hugo from The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, but if Evelyn Hugo was more “down to earth”.

I also loved the love triangle, which is never something you would catch me saying. But the emotion, the writing, the drama. It was also so excellently written and so messy. I ate it all up, and I loved each of the romances respectively.

This audiobook was also fantastic. This is definitely going into the “best audiobooks list”. The entire book is told in an interview and article style, which was such a great way to tell this story. Combined with the full cast of narrators for these characters, and added sound effects, this made a perfect audiobook. I genuinely listened to this entire thing in like 4 1/2 hours, which is absolutely crazy for me. I couldn’t put this down. And that plot twist at the end?! I wasn’t expecting that at all??? Like my mouth genuinely just dropped, I had to stop cleaning my room for the rest of the book because I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

Look, I know you all hear about this woman all the time. “Taylor Jenkins Reid” this “Taylor Jenkins Reid” that. But you hear about her all the time for good reasons. She is a fantastic historical fiction/fiction writer, and writes really deep stories and fleshed out characters. Her books are popular for a reason. I’m genuinely so excited for the show to come out on Prime in March, and I’ll be making this book my entire personality for the foreseeable future. Time to preorder the Aurora vinyl!!!
