Daisy Jones & the Six

Daisy Jones and the Six is by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Wow! A great realistic fiction novel about the rise and fall of an iconic rock band. The novel follows the founding, meteoric rise, and fall of a 1970s rock band and their haunting lead singer. If you know anything about 1970s rock, the relationship issues, the drug abuse, and the moving lyrics which document them can't help but remind you of Fleetwood Mac and the Rumours album; which by the way is the 8th best selling album in history. The novel is written in an interview format, and as you read you have to keep reminding yourself that this is fiction. 

Ratings: 12th grade - 9 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content).
