I did not know that I needed a book about a fictitious 70s band in my life, but clearly I did. Written as an oral history, this book attempts to uncover the reason, or reasons, why Daisy Jones & The Six broke up at the height of their popularity and fame.

This book was crazy good. At first, I wasn't sure how the oral history aspect would work, but it wove the perspectives of each person seamlessly together in order to provide the "whole story." Each member of the band had a distinct voice and viewpoint that was easily distinguished from the others. My favorite characters were the women: Daisy, Camila, Karen, and Simone. Each provided a unique view on what it was like to be a woman in the male-dominated world of rock and roll.

This book reads as incredibly realistic. I actually googled the band to make sure it wasn't a real band that I had somehow missed or that was based upon a real band. (It's not a real band, by the way.)

This book is all about sex, drugs, and rock n'roll, but it also provides astute observations on love, relationships, creativity, and the plight of women in a man-centric profession. And as usual, Taylor Jenkins Reid has several beautiful quotable passages that are incredibly impactful. Overall, I loved this book, and it will definitely be one I recommend this year.






Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
