Daisy Jones & The Six
by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Taylor Jenkins Reid first blew me away with The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, so is it really a surprise that she’s gone and done it again? I adored this book.
The Six are a fictional 70’s rock band, although at times you start to wonder if they actually did exist. The story is written like non-fiction, with the author interviewing each member of the band and those close to them. It’s such a unique format, and felt quite real at times.
It’s amazing how a simple interview can create this vibrant story with complex, layered characters. Jenkins Reid truly has a gift for bringing characters to life - Daisy Jones will definitely stick with me (just as Evelyn Hugo did).
It’s a rough and gritty story; it doesn’t sugar coat the darker side of rock and roll in that era. ‘Sex, drugs and rock and roll’ pretty much sums it up. It’s not for the faint of heart, but I think it’s worth reading all the more because of it. And whenever I put the book down, I would think to myself, ‘this would make an amazing movie’. Fingers crossed.
