Daisy Jones & The Six
Taylor Jenkins Reid
5/5
A historical fiction written in kind of a documentary style, Daisy Jones & The Six follows the rise and fall of one of the biggest bands of the seventies. It was an era of rock and roll, things moved fast and if you couldn't keep up you get left behind.
It's the kind of book that stresses you out because you're expecting chaos and you're expecting everything to fall apart. But it's so interesting, it really keeps your attention throughout the entirety and it's written in a way that's extremely easy to digest. The end is like simultaneously satisfying and heartbreaking, it's like an ending that needed to happen but all endings would have made me somewhat upset. I hate it when characters destroy their lives but this book perfectly balanced catastrophe and obligation.
I've heard that the audiobook is even more impactful, but like reading it as it was still shook me. I can't wait to see the songs actually performed when its produced, it's all such a perfect construction of heartbreak and grief and impossible love.
