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...

Thoughts

I watched the TV show adaptation of this and it was absolutely brilliant, moving and engaging and a simple but great story. The book is all of that and more. It’s absolutely intoxicating, drawing you in right from the start. You feel like you’re maybe eavesdropping on this tell-all confessional documentary but you can’t help it because the characters are so complex and layered, the story revealing itself so gently but addictively. It’s perfect.
