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.
Advance praise for Daisy Jones & The Six
"Daisy Jones & The Six is just plain fun from cover to cover. . . . Her characters feel so vividly real, you'll wish you could stream their albums, YouTube their concerts, and google their wildest moments to see them for yourself."-HelloGiggles
"Reid's wit and gift for telling a perfectly paced story make this one of the most enjoyably readable books of the year."-Nylon
"Reid delivers a stunning story of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll in the 1960s and '70s in this expertly wrought novel. Mimicking the style and substance of a tell-all celebrity memoir . . . Reid creates both story line and character gold. The book's prose is propulsive, original, and often raw. . . . Reid's gift for creating imperfect characters and taut plots courses throughout this addictive novel."-Publishers Weekly (starred review)

After finishing this book I was devestated when I remembered that Daisy Jones and the Six aren't a real band. Taylor Jenkins Reid has the ability to make anything and anyone she writes about feel so realistic that you will forget you're reading a novel until you are done with it. This book is rock'n'roll mixed with flawed but lovable characters who you can't help but root for as they work to become the biggest band in the world! Truly a story I want to metaphorically bury myself in.

Sex, drugs and Rock‘n Roll. Das Feeling der 70er Jahre wird auf jeder Seite dieses Buches spürbar. Ich bin völlig begeistert davon, wie Taylor Jenkins Reid es schafft, auf subtile Weise so große Emotionen hervor zu rufen. Gerade der Aufbau des Buches ließ mich bangen, ob überhaupt etwas bei mir ankommen würde, denn es ist ein Interviewformat, welches wirklich außergewöhnlich ist. Keiner der Charaktere kommuniziert miteinander, alle sprechen nur zum fiktiven Interviewer. Und doch ergaben alle einzelnen Beiträge der Charaktere ein großes Ganzes. Eine Geschichte, die trotz ihrer scheinbar nüchternen Schilderung große Emotionen hervorbringt. Ich wurde komplett mitgerissen, habe mich gefühlt, als sei ich ein Teil der Band. Ich habe jeden Schritt mit großem Bangen verfolgt und bin völlig abgetaucht. Bis zum Schluss wusste ich nicht, auf was alles hinaus laufen wird. Für mich ein grandioses Buch einer grandiosen Autorin.
