Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. 3.5/5 - the author so transparently reuses the same narrative skeleton of its predecessor, the seven husbands (which I very much did enjoy) but instead of Hollywood, it’s the music industry. Once again, it’s the same beautiful woman reflecting on her tumultuous relationships, celebrated career and sad ass childhood with an unnamed journalist This book made me feel two things: First, I refuse to believe this band never existed, and these people never lived. Second, I have an URGE to listen to their music, WHICH DOESN'T EXIST OMFG. This book seems SO EFFING REAL but not like historical documentary boring type of real, more like a journey and you're there from the very start. You're like a mom at the sidelines cheering them on through all their milestones, so when this book ended and HOW it ended saddened me like a mother. Once again, this book is not boring even from the start. Get through 20 pages and you'll be hooked. It's so believable. I want to be friends with Daisy Jones. It's so depressing this band never existed.
Like I said, this was a good book. The writing was good, the scenes were vivid, the characters had depth. I just simply didn’t like it on a personal level. AwardsDistinctionsNotable Lists
"Daisy is a girl coming of age in L.A. in the late sixties, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go-Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it's the rock and roll she loves most. By the time she's twenty, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things. Another band getting noticed is The Six, led by the brooding Billy Dunne. On the eve of their first tour, his girlfriend Camila finds out she's pregnant, and with the pressure of impending fatherhood and fame, Billy goes a little wild on the road. Daisy and Billy cross paths when a producer realizes the key to supercharged success is to put the two together. What happens next will become the stuff of legend. The making of that legend is chronicled in this riveting and unforgettable novel, written as an oral history of one of the biggest bands of the seventies. Taylor Jenkins Reid is a talented writer who takes her work to a new level with Daisy Jones & The Six, brilliantly capturing a place and time in an utterly distinctive voice"-- No library descriptions found. |

I love the fact that no one in this book was actually good people throughout the 70s (mainly: Eddie, Billy, and Daisy) as they all did stuff that was wrong.
I stand by the fact that Simone was an absolute god. I will die for the women. So was so underrated!
The inconsistencies between people’s accounts was funny as well. One person says something and Billy says the complete opposite however I do think it was due to the fact he thought he was right in that moment. He does deny a few things through this.
