'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 . . .

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Framed as the giddy oral history of a notorious fictional band, Daisy Jones & The Six looks at the real-world ecstasy and excess of ’70s rock ’n’ roll. Best known for writing devourable contemporary romances, Taylor Jenkins Reid has a gift for peering into her characters’ innermost thoughts and anxieties. That comes in handy when she’s describing headstrong heroine Daisy’s love-hate fireworks with bandleader Billy Dunne. Instead of turning Daisy’s trajectory—rebellious childhood, illicit appetites, self-discovery through music—into a Behind the Music cautionary tale, Reid creates a rich, nuanced portrait of the counterculture’s heyday.
Customer Reviews
Good read
Good read, I watched the tv show first and there were a few differences but still a good plot and storyline
slayed
the format made it so easy to read it was such a page turner. daisy is a layered and complex character but an absolute trail blazer, wish we got more of simone
A bit slow
This was a good read but just a bit slow, not much plot at all nothing really happens. Quite repetitive and boring. Also can’t get into the tv series that’s been made either
