"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.

Great Narration! submitted by tlexcen on June 19, 2019, 4:31pm I highly recommend this audio book with a full cast and amazing narration. Great story too!

fun to listen to with full cast on audio book submitted by kerstinrh on June 20, 2019, 6:31pm Let me start by saying I enjoyed this book quite a bit. That being said, I had a hard time getting over the idea of listening to a fictional book of band members recounting their experiences and lives because I felt like I could be learning about what happened to an actual band rather than just listening to a made up story that seemed fairly cliché. Its basically what you would expect in a story about a wildly popular band in the 70's. There's drama between band members, drug use, conflict, song writing, tours... However after I got over my hurdle of it being fictional I did enjoy the story and I was sad when it ended because I felt invested in the characters. The audio has a full cast so it really does feel like all the members being interviewed and like they are recounting their memories of the band. ⁣
