Review: Daisy Jones & The Six

Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yep, I googled Daisy Jones and the Six to see if they were a real band back in the 1970s. Um, no. And then I felt stupid. But that means this is a good "fake" memoir, right? This is a book written for audio--each character has its own narrator, and, if you look through the list of narrators, you have some great ones!

Billy is the lead singer of the Six, who gives us the drink in order to focus on loving his family and leading his rock band to stardom. Daisy Jones is the beautiful teen singer who grows up too early, abuses too many drugs, and sleeps with too many old men on the way to the top. The rest of the characters are mainly there to tell the stories of Daisy and Billy, but you'll quickly figure out their personalities, too.

This audiobook goes quickly--it's easy to be engrossed in what seems like a tell-all band memoir. Sure didn't feel like fiction to me! It felt like the typical band struggle to make it big, and still stay true to their roots without falling victim to stardom.
