A gripping novel about the whirlwind rise of an iconic 1970s rock group and their beautiful lead singer, revealing the mystery behind their infamous breakup.
.I devoured Daisy Jones & The Six in a day, falling head over heels for it. Daisy and the band captured my heart."-Reese Witherspoon
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.
The making of that legend is chronicled in this riveting and unforgettable novel, written as an oral history of one of the biggest bands of the seventies. Taylor Jenkins Reid is a talented writer who takes her work to a new level with Daisy Jones & The Six, brilliantly capturing a place and time in an utterly distinctive voice.

Både bandmedlemmer, managere, groupier, og journalister gir stemme til historien om det fiktive bandet «The Six». Bandet ledes av Billy, og han er ikke alltid så lett og hanskes med. I tillegg blir kjæresten gravid, og det passer ikke helt inn i turnélivet til Billy.
Daisy har søkkrike foreldre som driter i hva hun bruker tiden sin på. Hun vaker rundt i musikkmiljøet, og stemmen hennes vekker oppsikt hvor enn hun går.
Etterhvert blir Daisy presentert for «The Six», og magi oppstår. Dette er historien om hvorfor de ga seg da de var på toppen av karrieren.
Kul og annerledes historie, som virker veldig autentisk om livet som rockestjerne på 70-tallet. Allikevel synes jeg den ble for repetetiv, og dermed kjedelig og forutsigbar.
Pure entertainment! I like.

I don't believe in soul mates anymore and I'm not looking for anything. But if I did believe in them, I'd believe your soul mate was somebody who had all the things you didn't, that needed all the things you had. Not somebody who's suffering from the same stuff you are.
