Book Description:
Everyone knows DAISY JONES & THE SIX, but nobody knows the reason behind their split at the absolute height of their popularity . . . until now.
Daisy is a girl coming of age in L.A. in the late sixties, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock ’n’ roll she loves most. By the time she’s twenty, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things.
Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne. On the eve of their first tour, his girlfriend Camila finds out she’s pregnant, and with the pressure of impending fatherhood and fame, Billy goes a little wild on the road.
Daisy and Billy cross paths when a producer realizes that the key to supercharged success is to put the two together. What happens next will become the stuff of legend.
The making of that legend is chronicled in this riveting and unforgettable novel, written as an oral history of one of the biggest bands of the seventies. Taylor Jenkins Reid is a talented writer who takes her work to a new level with Daisy Jones & The Six, brilliantly capturing a place and time in an utterly distinctive voice.
Jessica’s Review:
Daisy Jones & The Six is a book that must to be listened to! I had heard that before and I agree that is the way to read this book! This book is everything that covers the career of a fictional band in the late 70s from their formation to their eventual fall.
Everything about this book feels like the telling of the ‘behind the scenes lives’ of an actual band and its members. It is a full cast narration with some well-known names participating. The narrations fully give the listener the sense of stardom with Daisy and Billy, along with the given sex, drugs, and rock and roll.
I couldn’t help but become fully involved in the story of Daisy Jones and The Six. This one is a definite five star listen and I definitely will be watching the mini-series!
There is also a PDF of song lyrics included with the audiobook.
