I will admit I dragged my heels on reading this one for a while. I heard so many mixed reviews. (And also because I knew that they were going to talk about drugs a lot.) However, my book club chose it for their August discussion, so I decided to dive right in.

I liked the simplistic feel of it being set in the 1970s. The characters were definitely interesting. I probably should have done this as an audio book, so I could listen to the songs, but maybe I'll check it out that way someday, just to ...more

4.5 stars. Taylor Jenkins Reid is quickly becoming one of my top 5 authors. Her storytelling is just such a unique talent. Daisy Jones & The Six is written like a Rolling Stone expose or a (revealing my age in 3...2...1...) Vh1 Behind the Music episode. It's crazy to think this band is fictional.

We've all heard this band's story before and the Stevie Nicks/Lindsey Buckingham/Fleetwood Mac inspiration is evident ...more

This was a bit of a slow start for me but once Daisy Jones and The Six' stories merge, the story really picks up. Before, it is a lot of baseline important information BUT once the two stories merge, the characters really come alive. It starts to feel almost like reading a script for a movie and I can so vividly see these people and the rationale behind their actions. Also I loved the song lyrics at the end but I wish there was a Spotify playlist. ...more

Put off reading this book, and then devoured it within a few days. Absolutely gripping, and satisfying to the very end. The last line had me sobbing.

I really enjoyed this book. It was so well written that I had to keep reminding myself that it was fiction and the band didn't really exist. ...more

Loved it. A page turner. Even though this is based on a fictional band, the author does a great job submerging you in the world of this band and their music. I resisted reading it for a long time because I'm not that into the world of music and bands, but this was really great. ...more
