I always get giddy when a book makes my all-time favorite list. There are only ten books on it. I have two regrets with this book. One: that I did not read it sooner. Two: that I didn't listen to the audiobook. I'm typically not a big audiobook person, but I've heard this one has a cast of characters AND music. It's on my re-read/listen list for sure.

This book is beautiful. The format, the prose, the lyrics, the characters. It's all so detailed and well-rounded and real. And I loved it because nobody was perfect; in fact, nobody was really a good person. Did I actually look up if Daisy Jones & The Six was a real band? Shamelessly. I'm really just in love with this book. And now it's getting a TV show? Yes yes yes. I know this book made some people cry, and while I can understand it, a novel hasn't made me cry in a long long time. But I will hold this one near and dear and definitely come back to it again.
