[reread]

the first time i read this book, i went into it with the vague knowledge that it was fiction, and yet i left it convinced that daisy jones & the six were a real band. after all, i wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about the time period and the rock & roll scene, so it was plausible that something like this could’ve slipped by me, right? i remember googling them because i wanted to listen to their music and being so disappointed when i realized that it didn’t actually exist.

the first time i read this book, i went into it with the vague knowledge that it was fiction, and yet i left it convinced that daisy jones & the six were a real band. after all, i wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about the time period and the rock & roll scene, so it was plausible that something like this could’ve slipped by me, right? i remember googling them because i wanted to listen to their music and being so disappointed when i realized that it didn’t actually exist. (although i am so so excited to watch the show when it comes out and finally get to have this experience !!) but i think it’s a testament to taylor jenkins reid’s writing that she can create this illusion for the reader to live within. just for a moment in time, when we’re between the pages of this book, daisy jones and billy dunne are real and alive and their sorrows become your heartache, and their happiness becomes your joy.

it’s safe to say that i loved this book just as much, if not even more, the second time around. a few years had passed, enough time for me to remember that i’d marked it as one of my favorites, but to have forgotten the majority of the details. it’s a pretty magical experience to read one of your favorite books all over again, like it is the first time, to fall in love with these characters and be shocked by the plot twists through fresh eyes. (i can’t believe i’d forgotten the ending !! like holy cow !!)

the writing format is unique, told through an oral history of daisy jones, each member of the six, and the people who worked with/knew them. taylor jenkins reid explored so many points of view, as well as how infallible memory can be. this is not just the story of their lives, but the story that they tell themselves about it. daisy jones & the six is about sex, drugs, and rock and roll, but it is also a story of yearning and drug addiction, the struggle between who you are and who the world thinks you are, romance and passion and loyalty and love. when i say that this book is a worthwhile read, that it is worth all of the hype - by god, i mean it.

i came into this reread with a specific purpose: i wanted to annotate it for a friend, share this book that i loved with a person that i love. i have to tell you that every page is soaked in ink. i genuinely did not go for one single page without finding a line that i loved. taylor jenkins reid is a master at her art: every single detail is carefully curated for the best possible experience. i used a blue highlighter to mark lines that made me sad, and halfway through i had to replace it with a new one because i’d dried all of the ink up. there are not enough words in the english language to express my love and appreciation for this book. i can’t wait to come back in another few years and experience it all again. ...more

Daisy no me terminó de convencer, amé su feminismo de principio a fin pero a veces se le iba la mano en muchas cosas cuando solo trataban de ayudarla
Billy I love you pero cómo puedes ser tan egoísta? No escuchar a Graham me rompió el corazón
Camila no sé como lo hiciste y no sé si apoyar que te quedaras ahí, no lo sé

También agregar que Eddie merecía algo mejor y que los diálogos de él me dolían mucho

Lo que quiero decir es que el libro es bueno (menos el final tan atropellado), tiene frases y diá ...more

Nunca había leído nada en este tipo de formato y aún no sé si me agradó del todo o no, pero puedo asegurar que debido a este pudimos conocer las perspectivas de cada uno de los personajes en cada situación al mismo tiempo y eso se agradece.

Realmente Taylor Jenkins Reid es un *Chef Kiss*, esa mujer es capaz de hacer personajes increíblemente reales, tanto con Los siete maridos de Evelyn Hugo como con Daisy Jones & The Six realmente me hizo dudar si estaba leyendo una novela o una biografía y les ...more

i honestly have no words—in fact, there are no words in the dictionary to express how much i love this book. there is no amount of words in the WORLD that can be used for how good this book was.

i could not put it down. there was something so raw about this story that it felt real, very much like the seven husbands of evelyn hugo. taylor jenkins reid has such a way with words. it's literally poetic. it's so easy to fall into her universe, that i found myself not wanting to leave. i'm pretty sure ...more

this was a reread before the show came out. i’m obsessed with this book and i love it so much. i’m obsessed with books that are about being famous and i love the 70s vibe. i’m a huge rock and roll fan, especially 70s rock and this book is perfect. im also a huge fleetwood mac fan and this book reminds me so much of them.

this book was different in probably some of the best ways possible. the ending is what pushed it to five stars for me.

i am shook. you can't tell me this is a work of fiction, that daisy jones & the six didn't actually exist. everyone felt so believable, so real, like i could hunt for a netflix documentary about them or find them on wikipedia. and i wanted to!

'daisy jones & the six' somehow managed to become the very air i breathed; their joy and their struggles and their pain, i felt everything. i just wanted to reach into the pages and give daisy a hug. i've never felt so raw after reading a book, i might actu ...more
