“And, baby, when you think of me I hope it ruins rock ‘n’ roll.”
This book was a wild ride, that’s for sure. It is very much a character-based novel, so if you’re looking for a substantial plot line then this book probably isn’t for you. But if you’re looking for complex, three-dimensional characters that feel real, then you’re in the right spot.
TJR has a knack for writing the most realistic and complex characters and Daisy Jones and the Six is no exception. Most of the time, I felt like I was reading about a real band and the real things they went through together and individually.
I liked how the story was written as a transcript so we could see all different perspectives and how each person’s retelling of the events differed slightly. The little twist at the end was an interesting addition but I don’t think it was life-changing in terms of how the story was consumed, but it helped to put Daisy’s feelings towards Camila, in particular, in perspective.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading about and connecting with these characters and I’m excited to see how this is translated to the screen in the upcoming adaptation.
