Daisy Jones & the Six / Taylor Jenkins Reid.
"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 and 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. Another band getting noticed is The Six, 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 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"-- Provided by publisher.

Praise for Daisy Jones & The Six
âDaisy Jones & The Six is just plain fun from cover to cover. . . . Her characters feel so vividly real, youâll wish you could stream their albums, YouTube their concerts, and google their wildest moments to see them for yourself.ââHelloGiggles
âReid delivers a stunning story of sex, drugs, and rock ânâ roll in the 1960s and â70s 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 bookâs prose is propulsive, original, and often raw.ââPublishers Weekly (starred review)
