Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
The reason DAISY JONES & THE SIX broke up at the pinnacle of their fame has never been revealed, despite the fact that everyone is familiar with the band.
Daisy is a young woman coming of age in Los Angeles in the late 1960s who dreams of performing at the Whiskey a Go Go while sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip and sleeping with rock stars. Although the sex and drugs are exciting, she prefers rock ‘n’ roll over them all. By the time she is twenty, people are starting to take note of her voice, and she exudes the reckless beauty that drives people crazy. The Six, a group fronted by the moody Billy Dunne, is also gaining attention.

As their first tour approaches, Billy’s girlfriend Camila learns she’s expecting, and under the burden of upcoming parenthood and fame, Billy behaves erratically on the road.
When a producer decides to pair up Daisy and Billy, he or she comes into contact with Daisy and Billy. What happens next will go down in history.
This captivating and enduring novel, presented as an oral history of one of the biggest bands of the 1970s, traces the birth of that mythology. With Daisy Jones & The Six, renowned author Taylor Jenkins Reid elevates her writing to a new level, masterfully capturing a setting and era in a style that is completely unique.
Relive the sex, drug use, and rock ‘n’ roll of the 1970s, but with interviews that are more like magazine articles. There are countless angles to a tale and ways in which several individuals can interpret the same event. The rise and collapse of Daisy Jones & The Six demonstrate how a band can achieve fame, but that everyone has their own problems and baggage while under pressure to perform and maintain momentum. All of the characters have flaws, but Billy and Daisy stand out the most.
They could communicate so much intensity and emotion on stage because they were like two peas in a pod, but their off-stage relationship was tense and full of other strong feelings. While their individual travels followed parallel but varied timeframes, the outcome was favourable to each of them.
This is the account of a band named the Six and their explosive climb to prominence in the 1970s as told through the transcripts of interviews with band members and other friends and relatives. The story of Daisy Jones, an enigmatic singer who joins the Six, is interwoven with the six members’ ascent to prominence. This tale is reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac and hits on all the things we love or loathe about 1970s rock ‘n’ roll. Feminism, partying, stardom, and excellent music are all present.
Daisy is egotistical and opinionated, yet some of us can really identify with her. The Six’s self-declared leader and songwriter, Billy Dunne, is another; he battles drug addiction while continuing to build on the group’s success.
