Daisy Jones & The Six
by Taylor Jenkins Reid
“I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else's muse.
I am not a muse.
I am the somebody.
End of fucking story.”
Daisy Jones and the Six is at it’s simplest a story about a girl and a band, though it explores so much more than that. Told through a mash-up of interviews, creating an oral history of the characters, Daisy Jones tackles ideas of drugs, loves, music, and the humanity behind it all.
Daisy Jones and the Six is a fantastic book, but the audiobook is a masterpiece. After hearing all my friends rave about the audiobook, I knew I had to listen to this book rather than read it. It was a beautiful experience. Using a full cast of narrators, the audiobook made Daisy Jones truly come to life, adding even more emotion to an already volatile tale.
On top of my absolute love for the audiobook, a lot of love exists for the story itself. It’s overall an interesting story to love, as you don’t necessarily get attached to the characters in a normal sense, nor are necessarily cheering for some of the actions either. It’s one of those stories that exists entirely in the morally grey area, one you can only enjoy if you try not to judge the characters too much. You need to find an appreciation for Daisy Jones that’s different from how you appreciate most books.
I loved how honest and human this book was, especially since this is the exact type of mood I’ve been in lately (or all of 2019, if I’m being honest). Give me truth and complexity, even if it brings along the dark and the heartbreaking.
It’s honestly hard to judge this book how I normally do. The plot wasn’t necessarily shocking or surprising (though I love the twist Reid threw in there!), but it didn’t need to be. The characters weren’t lovable, admirable, or even good, but they affected you anyways. The characters and their actions were flawed, reckless, sometimes downright horrible, but they were human, and I believe that’s what I love about this book the most.
I’m left with a much shorter review than I normally write, but it’s hard to judge a book like this. All I really have to say is that I need all of you to read it, or listen to it if you can. It’s utterly fantastic.
