This novel, delivered as a tell-all behind-the-scenes interview, follows the rise and rapid dissolution of a rock and roll band in the 70s. I know… I’m a couple of years late to this party. To be honest, I just happened upon this book after reading Malibu Rising and looking for more books by the author. I had no idea ahead of time what this book was about, that it was insanely popular, or that Amazon is working to release a limited series next month. On a whim, I decided to choose the audiobook version, and I think that was the right choice given the book reads as an interview and the audiobook hosts a full cast. It was easier to get a feel for (and keep track of!) the characters in the audiobook format. This kept me more engaged in the story than if I had read the book.  

As I was reading, I found out the book is loosely based on Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks/Lindsey Buckingham’s relationship. I grew up listening to Fleetwood Mac, and they are still one of my favorite bands, so the connection in part explains why I was so enraptured with this book. The fictional band Reid created was compelling and convincingly authentic – from the song lyrics to recounting how the songs were developed, produced, and refined. I had to repeatedly remind myself that Daisy Jones & The Six doesn’t actually exist.

The relationships and conflicts depicted were raw and real. For instance, the push and pull of Daisy and Billy’s relationship was expertly executed so that I was constantly asking… “Well, will they?!”. And while I couldn’t exactly understand Billy and his wife Camila’s relationship, I imagine it is realistic for a relationship where one person is famous and always on the road. There were a couple of events I remained unconvinced about throughout the book – knowing Daisy’s motivations and personality, would Daisy really have been so excited to join The Six?? After all, she knew she wanted to write her own songs, and being in charge of that was more important to her than singing and being famous. Overall, this story was engaging, entertaining, and emotional. I recommend this book if you’re looking for an easy read that quickly grabs your interest.

About Emily

Emily is flying by the seat of her pants as a mom of both a toddler and an infant. She lives in comfy clothes, a messy ponytail, and is always sipping on lukewarm coffee (because who gets to drink hot coffee when they have little kids?!). Her favorite genre to read is fantasy, but she'll pick up a good dark romance here and there.

Wowww! I thought this was going to be a light, fun read like JVN’s persona on Queer Eye. I was so wrong in all the best ways! This was deep, emotional, heartbreaking, and beautiful mixed with JVN’s usual fun and witty comments. I highly recommend this book.

I've heard so many good things about this book - plus I read Lock Every Door by Riley Sager last year which was fantastic - so I'm really hoping this book lives up to the hype. We're heading into Fall which always makes me want to read some creepy thrillers (even though I'm a big baby that gets scared SO easily). I also talked my husband into reading it with me (!). We rarely read the same books because we typically like different genres but it's always a fun time when we do. I love discussing books with him (the downside being when he shits on a book I love... but i still love him anyway even if he sometimes has poor judgement).

#bookreview ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 I decided #bookreview ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

I decided to read this book after seeing it be referred to as “the adult Harry Potter”. Harley Merlin starts out much like Harry Potter... a girl who lost her parents as a young child has some extraordinary abilities that she just doesn't fully understand. The big difference... Harley Merlin is an adult. She's currently working at a casino using her abilities as an empath to help catch cheaters. But soon something CRAZY happens and Harley is thrown into the world of magic... a world she had no idea existed. And of course, the big villain is out for none other than new magical Harley Merlin, but things don't always seem to work out in Harley's favor. There's magic, monsters, and covens... what more could you want?

Let me start off by saying, I did enjoy this book and have read up to book 6 in the series already (out of a whomping 17 books in the series!) and will continue reading until I'm bored of it. The first book I think is a bit loose on what is going on. The magical world isn't quite developed yet and there's a lot of questions that need to be answered. A lot of the characters didn't become relatable and likable to me until the 2nd and 3rd books. I find Harley a bit frustrating in the same way I found Harry Potter frustrating (stop trying to be the single-handed hero!). I would recommend this book to Harry Potter lovers, with the disclaimer that it isn't the adult version of HP. It's another book about magic that follows a VERY similar recipe as HP. 
PS. - Someone else please tell me that you think Wade sounds dreamy too..!?
