Daisy Jones & the Six: Reese's Book Club: a novel (California dream (crossover) serie, 2)

I have seen this book around for a while now, I bought it a while ago as well but only just got around to it. This is a fictional book about Daisy Jones and a band called The Six. The title does kind of give it away! The Six are already a band, they have already had an album. Daisy Jones is an up-and-coming star and it is a chance comment that brings them together. This book is set out as a documentary-style transcript. It is very easy to get used to this style and as it is a transcript you always know who is saying what. The author has created a story that is incredibly addictive and all the time I was reading this I had to remind myself that it was a fictional book about fictional people. The author delves into the lives of her characters before they became the band known as Daisy Jones & The Six. This is such an insightful look into the lives of each of the members when the drugs, sex and rock'n'roll lifestyle was notorious around rock bands. The author doesn't hold back in this and her characters go through some tough choices. The main man behind The Six is Billy Dunne. There is a certain amount of animosity from the rest of the band at times as he takes charge of the direction they are going. Bringing in Daisy creates problems, but also adds a balance. However, two dynamic characters such as Billy and Dasiy are going to create waves. The author has packed this story with so much tension, excitement, and mayhem of living a lifestyle in the late 60s and early 70s. Time on the road, creating new songs and how the dynamics between the band, their families and friends take its toll. A fabulous story that I am so glad I finally got around to reading. Exciting and sad at times but with an addictive quality. I soon found characters I preferred over others and I did have an interest in hoping for the best for others. An unusual style but a brilliant book. It is one I would definitely recommend.

Taylor Jenkins Reid delivers a captivating, documentary-style story of a fictional 1970s rock band’s rise and fall. The Daisy Jones character is a standout—wild, talented, and unforgettable—and her chemistry with Billy Dunne drives the storyline’s emotional core. The oral history format is fresh and fast-paced, though it occasionally keeps the reader at arm’s length from more profound emotions. Still, the characters are vivid, the drama is addictive, and the vibe is pure rock and roll. Rushed through this in two sittings beside the pool—a perfect holiday read, light and captivating.

I bought this to read on holiday and found it so engaging and thoroughly enjoyable. I used to be such a bookworm but I've struggled to concentrate on books since having children, so the fact I was completely absorbed by this book and couldn't put it down is testament to how good it is. The book is about a fictional 70s rock band, but anyone familiar with the story of Fleetwood Mac and the recording of the album, Rumours, will immediately see lots of similarities. Stevie Nicks actually shared on her social media how much she loved the TV adaptation and how much the drama, and Riley Keogh's portrayal of Daisy Jones, reminded her of that time, her life and her own experiences. I am watching the TV adaptation and think the cast and songs are all brilliant (the soundtrack is great!), but I love the book far more. The characters are all really well conveyed through their interviews with the book's 'author' (you find out who that is at the end!), recalling the rise and eventual dramatic end of the band. We are taken through the song writing process for their first and final album as 'Daisy Jones and The Six', and you do really feel almost like you're there with the band, experiencing the process of creating and recording the album, and the growing tensions between the band members. I really liked all of the characters and the way the story is told, through their different perspectives, created a really layered, nuanced story. I usually leave my holiday reads behind for other people to read after me, but I took this book home. I will definitely be reading it again.

When I finished “The sevens husbands of Evelyn Hugo” which I loved and a 5 ⭐️ read, I thought I had to give this a try also. I enjoyed the unique writing style - the whole book is writing from interviews with numbers of characters and their point of view during the story. Therefor it was also quite funny sometimes. Unfortunately I can’t give this a 5 ⭐️ I will give this a 4 ⭐️ rating. Because it was very slow in the middle of the book and I was not sure if I wanted to finish reading it. But after these pages the story took a right turn again.

Venía muy bien! Solo en la contraportada traía un hoyito como de golpe pero nada más. Amé el libro, vale totalmente la pena leerlo y comprarlo. Me gusta más esta portada que la qd ya hicieron por la serie, aunque es muy parecida. Mi personaje favorito obviamente Camila🖤

This book. Oh, this book. Daisy Jones and The Six isn’t just a story—it’s an experience, a tempest of emotions that refuses to let you go. Daisy is the storm. She’s the embodiment of female rage and resilience, the wild winds of change, and the quiet calm before chaos. She’s the first drops of rain on dry soil, the heat of a wildfire, the salt of ocean waves crashing against the shore. Tender and callous, raw and refined—she is everything. Billy, on the other hand, is the void. He’s a man so lost in his fear and ego that he clings to idealism like a lifeline. He’s the hollow vacuum that swallows everything around him. Where Daisy is everything, Billy is nothing—but together, they’re two broken pieces of a puzzle trying desperately to fit. What happens when the storm meets the void? When light collides with darkness? That’s the heart of this book. It’s messy, it’s devastating, and it’s breathtaking. If you’re a Taylor Swift fan, you know how her music makes you feel seen—how it burrows into your chest and pulls at emotions you didn’t know you had. That’s what this book does. The music the band creates isn’t just on the page; it’s in your head, in your heart. It stays with you. Daisy is one of the strongest, most flawed protagonists I’ve ever read. She’s selfish, impulsive, and deeply human. Her story drives the narrative into a whirlwind of pain, love, and self-discovery. Meanwhile, Billy’s internal struggle is achingly real—his fight to balance what he wants, what he needs, and what he thinks is right is heartbreakingly honest. This isn’t just a story about a band coming together and falling apart. It’s about dreams and unfulfilled potential. It’s about unrequited love and the ache of what could have been. It’s about hope and heartbreak, growing up and falling down, and finding the strength to rise again. I went into this book with low expectations. I was skeptical, thinking it wouldn’t live up to the hype. I was wrong. The characters are raw, real, and purposeful. They grow in ways that make your heart shatter and heal. You feel their conundrums, their pain, their dreams. You feel them. I can’t recommend the audiobook enough. The full cast production brings these characters to life in a way that’s unforgettable—it’s like listening to a rockumentary come to life. Flipping through the ebook as I listened only deepened the experience. Daisy Jones and The Six is one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. Taylor Jenkins Reid has crafted a masterpiece—a story that feels like every Taylor Swift song you’ve ever cried to, every love you’ve ever lost, every dream you’ve ever dared to chase. 6/5 stars. If you’re patient with it, this book will reward you with an experience that will stay in your soul forever.

Great condition and very good book
