Daisy Jones & The Six
Daisy Jones & The Six | Taylor Jenkins Reid
A gripping novel about the whirlwind rise of a world-famous 1970s rock group and their beautiful lead singer--and the secret reasons behind their dramatic break up. Daisy Jones is a beautiful, broken girl growing up in L.A. with rich parents who barely know she exists. . . . But when she sings in a crowded, smoky club, you can hear a pin drop. All she wants is to write her own songs, but the record studio has its own ideas. It's the early 1970s and free love and drugs are everywhere, and Daisy wants to experience it all. Billy Dunne and his brother have a band called The Six that won't be playing weddings for long. They are ambitious, hard-rocking, hard-partying. When they land a record deal, Billy's girlfriend follows them to the west coast and life begins. But she finds out she's pregnant on the eve of their first tour, and the pressure of fatherhood and incipient fame make Billy go a little crazy on the road. Daisy and Billy's paths cross when a manager realizes that the key to skyrocketing success is to put them together. But oil and water don't even begin to describe how they mix. . . . And what happens next will become the stuff of legend. Written in the style of an "as-told-to" rock autobiography, Daisy Jones & The Six is an unforgettable ride.

I listened to the audio which was great with the full cast experience. I haven‘t read any other Taylor Jenkins Reid. I feel like the more popular an author is, the more reluctant I am to go there?! 😂 unless I‘ve been a fan since book 1 (like SJM). This book reminded me of the movie Almost Famous, which I love. Definitely well done. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

LoveToReadLiveToRead I know what you mean about popular authors. I did enjoy Evelyn Hugo and just finished Carrie Soto which worked so well for me on audio. That was mostly the narrator from Carrie‘s POV but had additional cast for other bits, media reports etc, which worked was good. 5d
paper.reveries Loved this book so much! My only Jenkins Reid book, like you. :) 2d

This was freaking fantastic! I listened to the audiobook and the full cast was absolutely amazing. The story was like a Behind the Music documentary and was probably one of the most unique and entertaining books I've read.

Dragon Loved this audiobook- Just finished listening to her latest book and it‘s good too 1w

I loved how this book was written in interview style, but the story was so depressing. There was definite depth, but I just didn't like how dark some of story got. Overall, I really like this author, but I'm not the biggest fan of this book specifically.

As someone who is generally opposed to books being made into TV/Movies this TV show is absolutely excellent. The soundtrack is amazing and “let me down easy” is such an earworm!!! Highly recommend if you‘ve not seen it yet.

I‘ve heard rave reviews but… I don‘t get it. The storytelling was interesting but the interview style was confusing early on - maybe it was because I was listening to the audiobook and not seeing the words in the page, but I lost track of the characters and ended up abandoning the book for a couple of months and starting over recently. The story was ok, loads of people behaving badly to the point it was the norm, leaving Camila as my MVP. It‘s ok.

This is my second book by this author. I enjoy her writing style. This one is written in an oral history format. “The author” is interviewing the members of the band. It‘s a quick read and now I‘ll get to watch the show based on the book. Rock-n-roll 🙌🏽

#WithANumber #TemptingTitles Finished the Prime miniseries last week, so good! so I‘m thinking about listening to the audio again next month to find out where the changes were and hang out with OG Daisy again. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Edit: actually so-so

I liked the innovative storytelling of this book with every member of the band telling their own take on what happened 30 years ago: from how they got together as a band, and how they ended up splitting.

Why the change: unrealistic choice of interviewer...

It's well-written with a good flow. But I must admit being disappointed in the ending, that I found cheesy... Am I the only one!?

i honestly really enjoyed this book! i love romanticizing the 70s, i love rock & roll, i love passionate love stories! it was a really fun read that kept me invested from start to finish. it made me want to listen to all of their songs and go to a concert. i also liked the interview format in which the book was written! i‘ve never read anything like that before, and it was super fun!

My IRL #bookclub met today to discuss Daisy Jones. Most were pretty meh about it. I was relieved because I felt the same when I read it in 2019.

Always a fun time meeting up with this group - local moms who met through our shared love of stories! We are very good at picking books apart! 😂

ShyBookOwl Sounds fun! I think I need to find a book club.. IRL might be nice 🤔 2mo

Megabooks Thinking of you. I know Covenant is not in your part of town, but I always feel for you and your connection to these tragedies, especially when it‘s so close to home. Every time it happens I hope it‘s the last time. 😭 I took Insta off my phone or else I‘d connect with you there. 💕💕💕 2mo
britt_brooke @Megabooks Thank you, sweet friend. Covenant is only 20 miles from here, literally a short walk from Parnassus. We had to discuss with our boys last night because there‘s no doubt folks will be talking about it at school today. Better to hear it from us. There was increased police presence at drop off this morning and I fell apart. It‘s all so horrible. (edited) 2mo
Megabooks Yes, the way we come from KY to Parnassus is right past there. Dad went to the Disciples Church that is right in that line of churches when he was at Vanderbilt and will always talk about which friends went to which church. I know you‘re holding the boys a bit tighter right now. 💜💜 Take care dear friend. 2mo

Loved the Amazon Prime adaptation of Daisy Jones and the Six! They made a few changes but all worked well. It took a few episodes to warm up, but that suits the plot well too. The songs they made for it are really catchy too. Fun to watch a book come to life!

thewallflower0707 I still need to watch the last two episodes, but I liked it so far. 2mo
Sargar114 We still have one more episode to watch. I‘m enjoying it but also felt it started slow. I also felt they probably could have cut two episodes and still would have been true to the story. 2mo
Karisa @Sargar114 @thewallflower0707 Yeah, first few were slow, but it gets better and better as it goes. I love that we got to see more of Simone and Camille. 2mo
Sargar114 @Karisa agreed! I loved the Simone storyline and Camille is my favorite character in both the book and the show 2mo
marleed I loved the show. It‘s been a couple years since I read the book so I didn‘t even notice the differences until reading an article listing them. I ugly cried while episode 9 wrapped up! 2mo

In my opinion, the real antagonist in Daisy Jones and the Six is the band members' addictions. Daisy is addicted to all kinds of drugs and it often leaves her vulnerable to being hurt, and Billy Dunne, the leader of the band, is sober but constantly tempted to start using drugs and alcohol again. There is no one person who's the antagonist, instead, it's their temptations and addictions that are harming them.

I kept hearing how great this book is,and the audiobook was the way to go. What I huge disappointment. I hated the characters, every single one of them. The story line was boring, repetitive, and so stereotypical. Just sex, drugs, and rock and roll but no real depth to the story or characters so I bailed at 44%. Maybe I should've stayed with it, but days later I still have no desire to pick it back up

K.Wielechowski I felt the same way. I did finish it and the end did help redeem it a bit but definitely didn‘t live up to the hype. 2mo
