Daisy Jones & The Six

I love any type of book that plays with the medium, such as epistolary novels that are diary entries, the Dear America books come to mind, told in letters, Ella Minnow Pea, or completely take apart what a book even is, House of Leaves which is on my tbr, and Daisy Jones is no exception.

Told through interviews between that band members of Daisy Jones & the Six, it goes through their forming of the band and their eventual breakup. This was a pretty quick read when I read it back in November and really enjoyed it! The ending absolutely shocked me.

I loved the interview style of the book that hooks you in right away, and the flawed characters were riveting, especially the two leads Daisy and Billy, and how they each battle their own demons and addictions.

With all that being said, I felt like I needed more of something, maybe lean into the interview style a little and include other pieces of media with the band in-between or have asides of the characters moving in their chairs or taking long pauses and having that being noted in the interview.

Maybe I am just incredibly dense or because it is revealed who the interviewer is, but I never got the explicit telling that Billy cheated on Camila with Daisy? The temptation was more than there, but with other comments I've seen online, I guess I must have missed it.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book, makes me want to go listen to some Fleetwood Mac, but I felt there was something missing.

3.5 rounded up to 4/5
