'I LOVE it . . . I can't remember the last time I read a book that was so fun' DOLLY ALDERTON
Everybody knows Daisy Jones and the Six.
Their sound defined an era. Their albums were on every turntable. They sold out arenas from coast to coast.
Then, on 12 July 1979, Daisy Jones walked barefoot onto the stage at Chicago Stadium. And it all came crashing down.
Everyone was there.
Everyone remembers it differently.
Nobody knew why they split. Until now . . .

'I spent a lost weekend in this book. Daisy Jones is an instant icon' ERIN KELLY
'DAISY JONES & THE SIX is a transporting novel - at once a love story, a glimpse into the combustible inner workings of a rock-and-roll band, and a pitch-perfect recreation of the music scene of the Fleetwood Mac era. You'll never want it to end' CECILIA AHERN

'Explosive . . . a gorgeous novel and a ravishing read' SUNDAY EXPRESS

'The heady haze of the 70s music scene, and a perfectly flawed Daisy, combine to create a fresh, rock n roll read. I loved it' ALI LAND, author of Good Me Bad Me

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Trying to one-up the audacious lives of ‘70s rock stars isn’t easy, but Taylor Jenkins Reid has created a charismatic band that lives just as hard as the real ones. Rockers Daisy Jones & the Six explode onto L.A.’s hip, debauched music scene before imploding just as dramatically. Framed as an oral history, Jenkins Reid’s novel is a lot of fun, but the audiobook is a bona fide party—it’s read by 21 actors, including Jennifer Beals and Pablo Schreiber as star-crossed bandmates Daisy and Billy. This sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll story is as fun, juicy and such a joy to hear.

Average.
It’s not thrilling and it’s not anything new.
Nothing wrong with it, but not enough fun for me to recommend.
