Daisy Jones & The Six are one of the few books to leave a lingering ache after the last page. This book explores the lives of a band and a talented singer and songwriter Daisy Jones. The interview-style format for this book was captivating and I thought it was different.

Each character had their own internal thoughts. You really got to know what each character’s thought process was like and I thought that was interesting. I think Daisy Jones is definitely one of the most complex yet relatable characters ever written. The way Reid introduced her background story was a strategic move. It made sense she acted the way she did with how she handled addiction. It was really interesting how she seemed lost yet found with the band. I really wished Reid added more angst and interactions with Daisy and Billy. I understood that they were probably going to fall for each other but I wish there were more conversations between them before Daisy almost kissed him. Camila was also one of the most infuriating characters for me. She really got on my nerves throughout the entire book. I hate how the book made it seem like she was this extraordinary woman when really she was just a selfish woman who wanted things her way no matter what. I understand she stayed because she loved Billy and had a baby on the way. What I don’t understand is why you would stay with him knowing he loved another woman. I think Billy definitely just convinced himself he loved Camila more than he loved Daisy because of what she endured for him. The talk Camila gave Daisy before she left the band honestly gave away what type of woman she is. I honestly don’t believe Daisy would have left the band if Camila didn’t talk to her that night. She talked to her in such a manner that it seemed she wanted the best for her, when really she just wanted Daisy out of the way of her marriage. The Graham and Karen dynamic was also pretty messy. If Graham and Karen had talked the whole baby situation out I do think they would’ve been together or the very least friends. I also understand Karen’s frustration towards Graham when he insisted on her keeping the baby, considering she wanted to focus on her career. Eddie also made me kind of man. I get why he was upset at times but he’s literally not the main focus of the band. Pete and Warren were kind of in their own world. They were a part of the band but they weren’t really a part of the drama. It makes sense they all broke apart at the end but it was sad to see. Overall, this book really showed a lot of insight on what type of lives people in bands live. Looking past the romance and drama, the novel looks into how addiction and talent can create extraordinary art and destroy it. Each character goes through obstacles that test their limits.
