They were the new icons of rock and roll, fated to burn bright and not fade away.
But on 12 July 1979, it all came crashing down.


There was Daisy, rock and roll force of nature, brilliant songwriter and unapologetic drug addict, the half-feral child who rose to superstardom.

There was Camila, the frontman's wife, too strong-willed to let the band implode - and all too aware of the electric connection between her husband and Daisy.

There was Karen, ice-cool keyboardist, a ferociously independent woman in a world that wasn't ready for her.

And there were the men surrounding them: the feuding, egotistical Dunne brothers, the angry guitarist chafing on the sidelines, the drummer binge-drinking on his boat, the bassist trying to start a family amid a hedonistic world tour. They were creative minds striking sparks from each other, ready to go up in flames.

It's never just about the music...

When you read a book or listen, in this case, that's outside of your genre and it absolutely blows you away?! That's exactly what happened with Daisy Jones & The Six. I did not expect to like this one at all, but I loved every single minute of this audiobook.

I am so glad that I dove in and listened to the audio instead of reading. I'm a romance lover through and through, and I truly didn't think I would have enjoyed this if I chose to listen to the audio.

This story was absolutely everything, the author did a phenomenal job weaving Daisy and the band The Six's story all into one. With a full cast on the audiobook, you can't help but just be so enthralled with every character's story. The band history that Taylor Jenkins Reid comes up with for this book is absolutely insane and it constantly made me question if this was actually a true story. All the Stevie Nicks vibes and was like can it be? Nope, it's all fiction and that just makes TJR a mastermind in this genre.

To me, this story was absolutely memorable, it's just one of those that'll stick with you forever. I can't say that I loved these characters, but every single one of them had something to bring to the story. Highly recommend the audiobook for anyone that's been on the fence.CHECK OUT THE REST OF MY REVIEW | HERE
