Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
3.0

Honestly, I didn’t expect this one to live up to the hype. I was cautious, but decided to burn an Audible credit on it. I was hooked from the intro. I think I fell in love with Daisy first, I could clearly see her running through my mind. She is cool, and she knows it. Girls want to be her and men want to have her. I see her aligned with Penny Lane from Almost Famous, the pair of them hanging out backstage with rockstars and roadies and partying through life.

While the novel is about Daisy and The Six’s rise to fame, there were side stories for the more minor characters that broke my heart. Every character is so vividly real, you feel like you’re right there with them. I identified most with keyboardist, Helen. Both her and Daisy are women who have their own goals in life and aren’t prepared to let a man make decisions for them.

Highly recommend for a fast, fun read. Am looking forward to the series when that is out.
