About the book
Everyone knows Daisy Jones & The Six, but nobody knows the real reason why they split at the absolute height of their popularity…until now. Daisy is a girl coming of age in L.A. in the late sixties, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go-Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock and roll she loves most. By the time she’s twenty, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things. Another band getting noticed is The Six, led by the brooding Billy Dunne. On the eve of their first tour, his girlfriend Camila finds out she’s pregnant, and with the pressure of impending fatherhood and fame, Billy goes a little wild on the road. Daisy and Billy cross paths when a producer realizes the key to supercharged success is to put the two together. What happens next will become the stuff of legend.

“honestly a part of me wants to give this a 4.75 because the ending broke my heart (miss jenkins reid i am begging you to give me ONE happy ending just ONE) but i cannot in good conscience do so because this book fucks so…”
“DNFed somewhere in chapter two (“The Rise of the Six”). I don't know which book everyone else is reading, because what I managed to read was bland and poorly written. For a book whose main selling point is the oral history/interview format, the execution falls…”
