Clearly, I read this to get ready for the television show. I really didn’t know what I was getting into. And the fact that it’s not a romance definitely had me questioning my sanity. But the show is getting a lot of airtime already so I figured I’d give my little book community my thoughts on a book that already has almost a million ratings.

📔 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼: Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

📖 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: The book follows Daisy Jones, Billy Dunne and the other members of The Six as they rise to fame in the 60s and 70s.

🌟 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: Just because I am who I am and I write the reviews I write, let me say this… this is not a romance. There’s some aspect of romance, but it’s definitely not a romance. There’s no spice, no cute moments, just a whole lot of tension drugs and rock n’ roll.

That being said, Daisy Jones & The Six was a well written mainstream book. I loved it in the way I love Gone Girl and Where the Crawdads Sing. I can absolutely see why it’s so popular. I can absolutely see how it’s easily going to be adapted into a show. And it made me feel something, which is the hallmark of a five-star rated book.

The book is written like an interview transcript. Each character tells their own version of the story. In doing so, they create their own characters and journeys. I loved how no one remembered events exactly the same. I did end up loving the other character stories. And I thought it was so well done for being under 350 pages.

I have to say, I’m excited for the show. I’m probably going to watch when all the episodes are aired, so I can binge. But I have no doubts at all that it’s going to be one of the great book-to-big screen adaptations.

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
