Everyone knows DAISY JONES & THE SIX, but nobody knows the reason behind their 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 ’n’ 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.

Also getting noticed is The Six, a band 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 that the key to supercharged success is to put the two together. What happens next will become the stuff of legend.

Why??? Why did I not read this before this week? I started this book, read 20 pages, slept, and then couldn’t put it down! It was amazing! I fell into the story of the rise and fall of Daisy Jones and The Six. I loved piecing together the mystery of what truly happened in the 1970s. And the twist toward the end was just inspired! I loved the style of this book. It read just like a long-form Rolling Stones article and I was hear for every word. I kept wanting to look up the albums and listen to the songs. Inspired writing. After reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and this volume, I think I might just be a big fan of Taylor Jenkins Reid.
