Book Description
Everyone knows DAISY JONES & THE SIX, but nobody knows the reason behind their split at the absolute height of their popularity . . . until now.
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 'n' 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.
Also getting noticed is The Six, a band 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 that 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.
MY THOUGHTS
Loved this!!! Now I want to see the series.
I am on a mission to read all the books by Taylor Jenkins Reid. This is the fourth book I read by her and it was not a disappointment at all. I absolutely loved the oral history style of this novel. It just flowed and made it so easy and entertaining to read.
The story Daisy Jones and The Six was a Grammy award winning fictional rock and roll group in the 1970s and their way of navigating fame and relationships. It really was about sex, drugs and rock and roll.
Daisy was an interesting character, she was a young singer songwriter who while trying to make it in the music business jumped at the opportunity to join the rock and roll group The Six. Her talent was what the group needed to make it big. Front line singer for The Six, Billy Dunne, trying to overcome his demons felt for Daisy more than he was willing to admit. Their relationship was the main idea of the story.
For me though Billy's wife Camilla was the character I loved. She was THE WIFE...and that's all I'm going to say, because I want people to read this book. I cannot wait to read another book by Taylor. Her stories are really good
