“Daisy Jones and The Six” by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Daisy is a wild child. She’s everywhere that the beautiful people are on the Sunset Strip in the late sixties getting into everything a teenager shouldn’t be but no one cares about Daisy enough to stop her. Daisy dreams of being a star and by the time she reaches her early twenties she’s well on her way to being somebody on the rock and roll scene. The Six are climbing the fame ladder at the same time led by frontman Billy Dunne. The group are making their rounds at clubs and getting air time just as Billy’s life is starting to split into two. The lead singer begins to spiral as the pressures of his responsibilities outside of The Six start to creep in. When the two artist’s producer devises a brilliant plan to have Daisy and The Six join forces instant magic happens, the stuff of legends. Read along through interviews as Daisy Jones, members of The Six and friends and family talk about their rise to fame in the 70s and what really happened to cause their epic breakup at the height of their popularity. I think I may be one of the last people on earth to read “Daisy Jones & the Six”. I think the hype made me hesitant to pick it up, worried that it was just another trend read. I was so wrong. I loved this book and how creatively TJR told this story. If you are like me and have yet to pick this book up, don’t wait any longer. Add this to your TBR list today. (Bonus: Keep an eye out for the TV series adaptation of this book coming soon!)
