Daisy Jones & The Six
by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I received a free digital copy of this book from the publishers/author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Daisy Jones and The Six had a massive hit of an album in the late 1970s, performed a sold-out tour and then one night they split up and no-one ever knew why. Until now, when an expose book is released about the real events of Daisy Jones joining The Six and the events that led the previously close-knit band to splinter apart.
Wow, I loved this book and absolutely flew through it. I could not put it down until I had finished every single page, and I was so drawn into the story, it felt like reality crashed all around me when I finally finished and came back to myself and this world. I was also devastated when I had to remind myself that Daisy Jones and The Six are not a real band, and their music does not exist.
I loved that even though this book does not follow a traditional narrative, story-telling style, the story shaped itself so well. Places weren’t always described really well but I could still see them in my mind and I was felt like I was there, witnessing the rock n’ roll history take place.
There are lots of compelling characters in this book, three of them being the female characters - Daisy Jones, Karen and Camilla. All three characters were really different but they each owned themselves and their life choices so well, I respected and loved every single one of them. Daisy Jones and Karen in particular had a way of owning their sexuality and sensuality in completely different but badass ways that blew me away. There were a lot of great quotes in this book about not just being someone in a man’s story but making your own and Karen and Daisy, and Camilla, did just that. I loved it.
There’s so many different kind of chemistry levels in this book as well it blew me away. From creative chemistry to sexual chemistry, it was fantastic to read and I was so drawn to all the different kind of relationships all the characters had with each other and figuring out how it would all end up.
I loved that because the ‘author’ of the book is interviewing different characters at different times about the same events, there’s actually a lot of contradictions from story to story. And far from irritating me, I loved it and I loved trying to decide who i thought was telling the truth of the matter.
Taylor Jenkins Reid is also really good at adding little twists to stories, that don’t really change the outlook of the story but just give an exciting edge and makes the reader gasp a little bit.
I just loved this from start to finish and even though the end had a little bit of an How I Met Your Mother vibe, I still liked how it all ended up. And honestly if TJR’s future books don’t have little Evelyn Hugo movies or DJATS music references/easter eggs I’ll be really disappointed because so much opportunity!
