From the author of THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO and the bestselling MALIBU RISING
'I LOVE it . . . I can't remember the last time I read a book that was so fun' DOLLY ALDERTON
Everybody knows Daisy Jones and the Six.
Their sound defined an era. Their albums were on every turntable. They sold out arenas from coast to coast.
Then, on 12 July 1979, Daisy Jones walked barefoot onto the stage at Chicago Stadium. And it all came crashing down.
Everyone was there.
Everyone remembers it differently.
Nobody knew why they split. Until now . . .

Critics Review
[T]his absorbing novel is full of irresistible characters, and brilliantly evokes its time and place. It’s my favourite novel of the year.
Unique, inventive and stylish…It’s exciting and intoxicating, and I loved the effortlessly cool Daisy Jones. It is a novel I’ll revisit regularly.
I totally fell for Taylor Jenkins Reid’s engaging recreation of the 70s rock ‘n’ roll scene . . . this novel has a lot of heart.
Part juicy celebrity tell-all, part A Star Is Born . . . Be prepared to read it in a single night.
I devoured DAISY JONES AND THE SIX in a day, falling head over heels for it. Taylor Jenkins Reid transported me into the magic of the 70’s music scene in a way I’ll never forget. The characters were beautifully layered and complex… Daisy and the band captured my heart, and they’re sure to capture yours too.
Fascinating . . . you can’t wait to find out what happens next . . . Everyone should read this.
The heady haze of the 70s music scene, and a perfectly flawed Daisy, combine to create a fresh, rock n roll read. I loved it.
Taylor Jenkins Reid is a stunning writer whose characters are unforgettable and whose stories are deeply emotional. Her new book is her most gripping yet.
Utterly believable . . . fabulously entertaining.
I spent a lost weekend in this book. Daisy Jones is an instant icon.
User Reviews
The Amazon series is fabulous, bursting with music and colour and flamboyant characters, but some story arcs have been adapted and I wasnu2019t sure how much had changed.
This audiobook enabled med to slow down and relive the story as the author intended. The narration is brilliant and brought the book to life but also reminded me how much the book chops and changes between the characters. I know there are a lot of characters the story would have flowed better without quite so much chopping and changing.
I understand better now the adaptations that were made to bring the book to a video series and I think they did well. Iu2019m glad itu2019s been serialised and not made into a film as the serial has allowed more of their music to be appreciated.
I used to think that nothing good came out of the 70u2019s of gas shortages, inflation and strikes but there were some great rock bands in the decade

The narration was great, having a whole cast for the different characters really worked, although it did take quite a long time to figure out which voice belonged to which character, so bear with it!
An epic story of a 70s band, reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac, itu2019s full of rock 'n' roll lifestyle and romantic entanglements. This is TJR at her very best.
Narrated by a full cast of characters, the audiobook is an incredible performance. Even if you have already read the book, give it a listen - you wonu2019t regret it.
