It's as if a woman wrestled the narrative from Almost Famous, drenched it in the sunshine, sex and tequila, and then left it for us to read on a rainy Sunday. ― Grazia

It’s mostly set in the Seventies, an era that Jenkins Reid conjures like a Tarantino film. The counterculture, the drugs, the parties, the promiscuity, the terrible relationships. It’s also about how some people can be stars, and others can’t, and the addictive lure of fame. Jenkins Reid has arranged this as an oral history, so we see the story of the band’s rise to excess from many points of view. You keep wondering: how far can this go? How crazy will things get? This is the Seventies. Pretty crazy. Hugely readable. ― Evening Standard
I completely forgot that Daisy Jones and The Six was a fictional book and not a real story. The cast of characters with different narrators portraying them made it feel so real. One of my favourite audiobooks of all time. ― Pop Sugar
Chances are that by the end of the year you’ll want to track down Daisy’s music and play it, even though the fabulous 1970s songbird never existed. ― Writing Magazine
A compelling read that opens the lid on the music industry's dark side ― Sunday Times Magazine
From the Back Cover
They were lovers and friends and brothers and rivals. They couldn't believe their luck, until it ran out. This is their story of the early days and the wild nights, but everyone remembers the truth differently. The only thing they all know for sure is that from the moment Daisy Jones walked barefoot onstage at the Whisky, their lives were irrevocably changed. Making music is never just about the music. And sometimes it can be hard to tell where the sound stops and the feelings begin.
