Daisy Jones and the Six is told as an oral history of a fictional 1970s rock band’s meteoric rise and sudden breakup, centering on free-spirited singer Daisy Jones and disciplined frontman Billy Dunne as their creative partnership transforms a solid rock group into a cultural phenomenon shaped by fame, addiction, and unresolved longing. The narrative jumps between bandmates, loved ones, and industry insiders recounting how Daisy and Billy’s combustible chemistry in the studio and onstage fueled iconic music while straining loyalties, marriages, and personal boundaries. As the interviews circle the band’s final infamous concert, the story explores memory, mythmaking, and the cost of greatness without revealing exactly why the group collapses at its peak.

Jamie’s review

It's been a minute since I read this, but I can still remember being absolutely engrossed in this story and these characters. They felt so incredibly real, I remember I kept googling to make sure it wasn't a real band and this book was indeed a work of fiction. It was riveting. The character development is so heartfelt and emotional, especially for a standalone book. I couldn't put it down. Maybe I should do a re-read….

PS the TV series was excellent as well! All the actors were phenomenal.

Erica’s review

It's so rare I DNF. Like, so rare. And I did that here. And one of my fave bands of all time is Fleetwood Mac…. I don't know what it was with this book. I had a lot going on in my life at the time and wasn't reading a ton and I really didn't like the format of the delivery of this story. It just wasn't for me. I'm like 1 in a million probably. 🤣 I even then tried to watch the series - also DNF'd that….I just couldn't connect with these characters I guess. Didn't do it for me.
