Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Picked as One to Watch in 2019 by The Times, i news, Stylist, Heat Magazine, Elle, Cosmopolitan, Red, Image Magazine and the Irish Independent. Order now: amzn.to/2T1VUv0.
For a while, Daisy Jones & The Six were everywhere. Their albums were on every turntable, they sold out arenas from coast to coast, their sound defined an era. And then, on 12 July 1979, they split.
Nobody ever knew why. Until now.
They were lovers and friends and brothers and rivals. They couldn't believe their luck, until it ran out. This is their story of the early days and the wild nights, but everyone remembers the truth differently.
The only thing they all know for sure is that from the moment Daisy Jones walked barefoot, on to the stage at the Whisky, the band were irrevocably changed.
Making music is never just about the music. And sometimes it can be hard to tell where the sound stops and the feelings begin.

“DAISY JONES & THE SIX is a transporting novel - at once a love story, a glimpse into the combustible inner workings of a rock-and-roll band, and a pitch-perfect recreation of the music scene of the Fleetwood Mac era. You’ll never want it to end.” CECILIA AHERN
‘Once in a blue moon you get to discover a book you end up pressing upon many other people to read. Taylor Jenkins Reid has got every nuance, every detail exact and right. I loved every word.’ PAUL REES
‘So brilliantly written I thought all the characters were real . . . I couldn’t put it down’ EDITH BOWMAN
‘The heady haze of the 70s music scene, and a perfectly flawed Daisy, combine to create a fresh, rock n roll read. I loved it.’ ALI LAND, author of Good Me Bad Me

evelyn hugo: 60s daisy jones: 70s malibu rising: 80s

[@andysommers8655]

and the three of them are connected too!! i think taylor did sort of intend for them to be read in that order, but it’s really subtle and you don’t actually have to go tshoeh, djats, mr (i didn’t realize there was that quiet organization so i read mr before djats)

[@sophiagraceee]

carrie soto is back: 90s!

[@soumiliray1522]

I liked the 60s setting best

[@_sty__le7433]

Without spoiling what is Malibu rising about ? Is it in the same vein as her other two novels where it’s historical fiction?

[@ashlyn888]

@@_sty__le7433 yes in some sense, its about the children of mick reva who has a brief cameo in Evelyn Hugo. It follows past, mick meeting the mother of the kids (blanking on her name) and the present day, following all the kids during one day in the present, the day of the infamous house party thrown by Nina, the oldest daughter. Hoped that helped, its been a minute since I read it though haha!

[@cicobuffy]

I’m here because I desperately want to listen to aurora

[@BigMacCoyle]

They're making one for the series

[@rhianx]

Hope you've heard it now that it's out

[@MademoiselleReveuse]

It's actually on Spotify - at least in France it is.

[@ceilidancr]

I can’t believe Taylor Jenkins Reid found out there had never been a good rock novel, so she put aside her fears and wrote the great rock novel we need. Iconic. Goals. Amazing.

[@dstorm7752]

There actually was a novel based on Phil Spector before

[@sashal1493]

Honestly the best story I have ever come to know. I’m completely, utterly obsessed with everything about it - the book, the audiobook, the series. It just gets better and better. What a work of art.

[@feverdreams.]

Daisy Jones and The Six is one of those books that I will never get tired of reading over and over again

[@catelay98]

[@larissafigueredo9247]

Mick Rivas is in seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo and in this book too! So funny this details!

[@brookechapman2789]

He’s in her short story ‘evidence of the affair’ too! And apparently her next book is to be set in the same world and I can hardly wait

[@JaxLiveLens]

I had heard so many good things about Daisy Jones and the Six - to the point that I was worried my expectations were too high. But worry not - it really is that good. Daisy Jones & The Six is such a detailed and well-accomplished oral history of a fictional rock band in the 1970s that you have to remind yourself it's fiction. I have nostalgia for the Los Angeles scene in the seventies and the sunset strip and the heady parties held at Chateau Marmont. I love that music - Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, I loved the story and the telling of the rock music journey from an idea for a band to super stardom. I want to know Daisy Jones, I want to hear her music. When I finished the book, I suffered immense grief at the loss of the world that Taylor Jenkins Reid had painted. Before I read this book and before it was even published it had been bought by Reese Witherspoon's production company to turn into a television series. Bring it on! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Thank you so much the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a complimentary electronic copy in return for an honest review.

[@zulunerd01]

My favorite author of all time!

[@mrslowery143]

Best audio book of ever listened too!! I loved it so much I’m buying the book and re reading it! ❤️❤️

[@gmed2]

Written as an oral history was amazing. The audio book is emotional and you feel like you are right there during the bands hey day! Love it 😊

[@andym.4184]

I just loved this audio book. For a day I kept Googling the band the six until I found out it was fiction

[@glassesinabook9044]

WOW! I loved the book. I love how much passion she has for the topic!

[@writingpanda7]

Reading it right now & fell in love with the story like 3 pages in. Can't wait to see where this story takes me. It's the 3rd novel of TJR that I am reading this summer & she quickly became one of my new favorite authors.

[@Dragondarkness30]

I picked this book on a random I had heard about it being good it and I picked it up just to see if it caught my interest and I found myself 30 some pages later I had fallen into the world of the story this book is so good. I finished it a couple of minutes ago I gave it 5 stars. It will definitely have you in the feels the whole time but mostly the second half of the book and near the end.

[@1singerhaley1]

my favorite book of all time!! it seriously changed my life 🤎

[@dstorm7752]

Reid thought that the lottery was the only explanation needed of the draft, but I was conscripted out of law school so it was far more complex. But otherwise she did a decent job of portraying the rock scene of the era.

[@berenicelomeli5054]

i really liked this book, the audiobook was sooo good too

[@devikadilip6238]

Hands down the best book i have ever read

[@fleekwithme1014]

Such a brilliant book, god i loved it sooo soo much!!

[@greslyrios1960]

I finished the read the book and i neeeed the lisen the all music ❤️

[@cacaktuaaa5695]

You should read "clothes music boys" by Viv Albertine from the Splits if you want tl read about her experience as a women in a rock girlgroup in the 60. This book is really different but it made me remember some things about the novel/biography I just mentioned... I really like this type of books, women in the rock world. Tins Turner biographies are also okay

[@twilightgal4life]

The audiobook was perfection 😍😍😍

[@ericaafenya9296]

i would do crazy things to listen to aurora

[@Fernanda-hm5tl]

[@MikeSmith-lx9jg]

I have not read the book loving the show. Seems a lot of inspiration from Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks. The song Look at us now is catchy.

i have a question: Taylor Jenkins Reid WHY did you decided to DESTROY me with this book?

[@oiseaudenuit]

It is a very nice story I like it a lot! But do you realize the California music as descripbed Joni mitchell, crosby still nash, fleetwood mac most of all mentioned are not from california! 😂
