From the moment Daisy walked barefoot on to the stage at the Whisky, she and the band were a sensation. Their sound defined an era. Their albums were on every turntable. They sold out arenas from coast to coast.
This is the story of their incredible rise: the desire, the rivalry - and the music.
Then, on 12 July 1979, Daisy Jones and the Six split up.
Nobody knew why. Until now...***
The Six started out as a blues-rock bank called Dunne Brothers in the mid-sixties out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

This has been on my TBR list for ages and I'm glad I got a chance to experience it. I've read other books about bands but not many so was looking forward to Daisy Jones and The Six. I had a lot of fun with the book. I liked the way the book is structured, split into years charting the band's success and each section is narrated by multiple people including bank members. There are no traditional chapters but each section has paragraphs from different people in the first person. This works really well though it took a few chapters to get used to. The books offers what I'd expect from a novel about the rise and fall of a band. I really enjoyed it.
