DRB Reviews...Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Rating: 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Exhilarating”

I read this book in less than 36 hours, absolutely devoured it. I am a classical trained musician and after reading this book, I wish I chose to be a rock star instead! What a ride. Being a musician, I have no idea how I missed reading this book when it came out in 2019. Unfortunately, I was born when the band was just coming into popularity, so I missed the craze! However, we still have their incredible album Aurora to listen to; I currently have it on loop.

The book is written in a series of interviews (from the band members and other people closely tied to the band) to create a story line of the band from inception to it’s final break down. It centres on the intense and forbidden relationship of the lead singer Billy Dunne and the iconic Daisy Jones. The novel explores fame, addiction, love and the deep truth of how music is used for emotional expression.

This book breathed...the accounts of the band members experiences were raw, real and registered with me. It was relatable to the true pains and roller coaster ride of life. I loved the documentary-style of Reid’s writing. It is truly no wonder why this book was The Book of the Month’s 2019 Book of the Year.

This is a read that is so worth your time, wherever you can find a copy, I highly recommend to spend some time with this band!
