Daisy Jones & The Six, by Taylor Jenkins Reid

 

"Daisy Jones & The Six" follows the life of a young girl in the music world. Daisy Jones is an odd but lovely character. When she meets "The Six", an emerging rock group, her voice adds to the group and causes a huge sensation. Although no one directly involved is extremely happy with the pairing, the group and Daisy work together to create an album, all the while struggling with relationships, temptations, and their music.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. This book is the first novel I've read in the form of an interview that I've actually enjoyed. Often, I miss the imagery presented through a narrator or the main character, but this was so well done. As someone whose life consists of a lot of music, it was extremely fun to read about the industry and how it affects those in it. As all of her books do, "Daisy Jones & The Six" touches upon the ups and downs of factors affecting her characters, or in this case, fame, wealth, and popularity. Seeing multiple perspectives was necessary for the story to be told, and TJR executed it perfectly. The scenes, thoughts, and comments from the individual characters make the novel not only exciting to read but extremely captivating. I definitely recommend this to all, but if you have a connection to the music industry (writing songs, playing an instrument, or singing in a band) I think you will fall in love with the story of Daisy Jones. 5/5
