Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I don’t know why it took me two years and a book group to get around to reading Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I had read and enjoyed one of her earlier books (Maybe in Another Life), the book got lots of good press when it was released (it was even a Reese Book Club title), and I do like to read about rock and roll and the 70’s. The book is about Daisy Jones, an unloved, rich, gorgeous, talented girl […]
Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Even as I was prepped for it by all the hype, I didn’t expect to like Daisy Jones & The Six as much as I did. I devoured it in a day, feeling angry whenever I had to put it down.

So, I have to say that all in all, I really enjoyed “Daisy Jones & The Six.” I am so glad many of my friends suggested I listen to this via an audiobook. I can definitely understand why many readers DNFed this book though. The interview style format would be a much to try to read. Same reason I gave up trying to read “War World Z” that’s another book you have to experience by audio. The voice actors in this one killed it, and […]
Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
From Goodreads: 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 and roll she loves most. By the time she’s twenty, her voice […]
