I finally got to this one because I like to read it before streaming the series. I know many friends who loved this book but myself not being a huge fan of the period (the 70s-bell bottoms and blazer 😼), I thought of skipping it. One other reason is I don't normally read about music but I do enjoy music biopics.

So yea, I changed my mind! 1. the SHOW has actors I like (Sam Claflin🤩) and 2. TJR somehow made me love a book about tennis, a sport I don't watch or play. I know through her writing I'll enjoy this one too.

I mostly read books through audio and Daisy Jones & The Six audio production is just awesome with dozens upon dozens of narrators, many of whom I recognize the voice so it was a real treat.

As far as the plot goes, I keep waiting for something to happen, I don't feel a strong connection with any characters or the story but didn't dislike it either. I felt it was kind of sad. The ending was touching so I'm going to bump it up. 🌼🎤🎸

Good choice, Kay. Can't wait to see your review. 🥰


Alan (the Consulting Librarian) Teder Great to see you listening to this one Kay! 🎶 I'm thinking of a reread/relisten myself. In case it is of any help, I did a voicecast list in my original review from years ago /review/show... Hope you enjoy the book and the TV series!


Tina Oh I'm so excited to hear what you think Kay! I thought the audio was outstanding! 🤞

message 9: by Ron (new)

Ron I thought seriously about reading before starting the new series, but decided not to wait. You wrote a good review Kay and the book sounds worth it. Thinking maybe I'll try one of Ried's others. Enjoy the show!


Catherine (alternativelytitledbooks) - in a book slump :( I’ve heard the audio for this is amazing but I haven’t checked it out yet…definitely curious about whether I’ll enjoy the series, but I’m hopeful! TJR got me to enjoy a book about tennis too, she is some type of wizard! 😂 glad you enjoyed Kay! 💕


Jayme Great review! 💕

A Mac Ah I've been debating on reading this one - glad you enjoyed it overall!


preoccupiedbybooks Great review Kay! I enjoyed this more than and agree the audio cast was fantastic! I'm on episode two of the show now, have you started it?


Rhonda I enjoyed it on audio as well—glad you liked it! Great review! ☺️

Thank you, Ron! I'm glad I read it but she certainly has better ones imo, I know this book is very popular so I'm just one of the few who didn't love it.

She is a wizard, I don't know how she does it. I enjoyed multi talent reading the book for me, but I thought there would be some good songs but not really. Thank you, Catherine!

Sunflowerbooklover I’m not much of a fan of this author. Glad that you enjoyed it though!!


message 26: by Heidi (new)

Heidi This book has been off and on my TBR� it’s back on after reading your review!! Maybe I’ll try the audio version! 😎


Kat I liked the narration too, but I also felt a bit of a disconnect with the characters and story. Great review, Kay! 💖


message 28: by Shey (new)

Shey I actually dnf'ed this. Mostly because of the writing style, I'm not a fan. Still planning to watch the series though, because yes, it's Sam Claflin. Haha! Glad you enjoyed this one, Kay! 😊💖

Barbara I HAVE TO GET THIS BOOK!!! Great review Kay.

I don't think I want to read it either after seeing the format. I borrowed both ebook and audio but only check the print to get the names . Yay for Sam Clafline, lol.🤩💓

Thank you Constantine! Yes, have you seen it yet? I hope I'll have time to check it out soon. I like Malibu Rising more as well.

Excellent review, Kay. So happy to see your four stars. 🌟


Ellie Spencer (catching up from hiatus) I liked the ending of this one too! I have heard great things about the narration of the audiobook! It definitely isn't one with lots of plot! Wonderful review Kay 🧡
