Daisy Jones & The Six

 Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid, 368 pages.

Daisy Jones was practically raised by the Sunset Strip in the 60s, and that upbringing guided her towards a meteoric career in music. The Six, and their sensational front man Billy Dunne, are pulled into her orbit as they work together on an album that will become one of the defining moments of the 70s before their equally spectacular separation. 

This fictional oral history worked very well as an audiobook. Funny enough, I'm not sure I would have enjoyed this book had I not been listening to it. Very little happened in the way of plot, and to hammer home the nature of unreliable narrators in an oral history much of it was covered repeatedly from different angles, which made the book move at a crawl at times. It is also guilty of something that's relatively common in books where the characters know the end at the beginning, wherein they allude to a big, bad event for the whole time that, on it's arrival, is ultimately pretty anticlimactic. All of that being said, I did still find myself invested in the characters and the book. I suspect people who enjoy celebrity stories and messy interpersonal drama as the driving force of their books would like this one, but for my tastes I'm afraid it was only fine.
