A Novel

Daisy Jones & the Six

Ann-Sophie

I fell in love with the wrong guy who was exactly the right guy.

Lacey Devlin

“You’re all sorts of things you don’t even know yet. “

“Women always seem to get back up. Women are always still standing .”

“Someone who insists on the perfect conditions to make art isn’t an artist they’re an asshole.”

“I used to care when men called me difficult.. I really did.. then I stopped. This way is better. “

“I was just supposed to be the inspiration for some man great ideas. Well fuck that “

“Men will take what they want and feel no debt.”

stephie

I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else’s muse. I am not a muse. I am the somebody. End of fucking story.

You know, things like that, that kind of connection with a person, it is sort of like playing with fire. Because it feels good, to be understood. You feel in sync with a person, you feel like you’re on a level that no one else is.

Jillian Roberts

“Men often think they deserve a sticker for treating women like people.”

Love is forgiveness and patience and faith and every once in a while, it's a gut punch. That's why it's a dangerous thing, when you go loving the wrong person. When you love somebody who doesnt deserve it. You have to be with someone that deserves your faith and you have to be deserving of someone else's. It’s sacred.

Daisy Jones and the Six

rain

I said something like "Sing it so hard, so loud, that you can't control where your voice goes. Let your voice crack. Lose control of it." I gave her permission to sound bad. Think of how you sing when you're singing to the radio at full volume. When you can't hear yourself, you're not afraid to really belt it out because you won't have to cringe when your voice breaks or you veer off-key. Daisy needed that kind of freedom. That takes a crapload of confidence. And Daisy didn't actually have confidence. She was always good. Confidence is being okay being good. I said, "If you sing this song in a way where you sound good the entire time, you've lost."

I think people that are too similar... they don't mix well. I used to think soul mates were two of the same. I used to think I was supposed to look for somebody that was just like me.

I don't believe in soul mates anymore and I'm not looking for anything. But if I did believe in them, I'd believe your soul mate was somebody who had all the things you didn't, that needed all the things you had. Not somebody who's suffering from the same stuff you are.

People say that life keeps moving, but they don't mention that it does stop sometimes, just for you. Just for you and your girl. The world stops spinning and just lets you two lie there. Feels like it, anyway. Sometimes. If you're lucky.

When you're in a situation like that, when you have a man looming over you, it's as if every decision you made lead to that moment—alone with a man you don't trust—flashes before your eyes. Something tells me men don't do that same thing. When they are standing there, threatening a woman, I doubt they count every wrong step they made to become the asshole they are. But they should.

Holly 

 You have to have one person in your life that you know would never do anything to steer you wrong. They may disagree with you. They could even break your heart, from time to time. But you have to have one person, at least, who you know will always tell you the truth.

 You need one person who, when the shit hits the fan, grabs your stuff. throws it in a suitcase, and gets you away from the Italian prince.

 Art doesn't owe anything to anyone. Songs are about how it felt, not the facts. Self-expression is about what it feels to live, not whether you had the right to claim any emotion at any time. Did I have a right to be mad at him? Did he do anything wrong? Who cares! Who cares? I hurt. So I wrote about it.

History is what you did, not what you almost did, not what you thought about doing. And I was proud of what I did.

That's how it was back then. I was just supposed to be the inspiration for some man's great idea. 

That's why I started writing my own stuff.

High school was not easy for me. I knew that to get an A, you had to do what you were told. But I also knew that a lot of what we were being told was bullshit. I remember one time I was assigned an essay on how Columbus discovered America and so I wrote a paper about how Columbus did not discover America. Because he didn't. But then I got an F.

 So in the middle of the night I was always looking for quiet things to do. My mom had these romance novels hanging around so I would read those. It would be two in the morning and my parents would be having a party downstairs and I'd be sitting on my bed with my lamp on, reading Doctor Zhivago or Peyton Place. 

And then it just became habit. I would read anything that was around. I wasn't picky. Thrillers, detective novels, sci-fi. 

Around the time I moved in with Simone, I found a box of history biographies on the side of the road one day, up in Beachwood Canyon. I tore through those in no time.

If the rest of the world was silver, Daisy was gold.

BILLY: I'm not saying that i didn't care. I cared a lot. I'm saying that if you really love someone, sometimes the things they need may hurt you, and some people are worth hurting for.

I had hurt Camila. God knows i had.But loving somebody isn't perfection and good times and laughing and making love. Love is forgiveness and patience and faith and every once in a while, it's a gut punch. That's why it's a dangerous thing, when you go loving the wrong person. When you love somebody who doesn't deserve it. You have to be with someone that deserves your faith and you have to be deserving of someone else's. It's sacred.

SIMONE: But at some point, you have to recognize that you have no control over anybody and you have to step back and be ready to catch them when they fall and that's all you can do. It feels like throwing yourself to sea. Or, maybe not that. Maybe it's more like throwing someone you love out to sea and then praying they float on their own, knwoing they might well drown and you'll have to watch.

Daisy Jones & The Six

Going into this, I thought this book was a story of an affair that was being told in interview format. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is so much more then just an affair. 

Abbi Brown 

this book seriously had me. the further in i got the harder it was to put down. i’m a huge fan of this oral history across interviews style of writing the book, it stayed interesting and kept the overall story very layered. awesome awesome characters, i can’t wait to watch the show and nitpick

If there are only a few Daisy Jones fans, I am one of them! If there is only one Daisy Jones fan, it’s me! If Daisy Jones has no more fans, then I am deep in the grave!

Daisy Jones & The Six (TV Tie-in Edition)

 Good and quick read. The ending is a real twist and has you questioning if everything that was said in the book was the entire truth. With character like Warren, Eddie, and Pete, we can trust their words were what had actually happened. I believe that Billy and Daisy did more that just kiss throat one time. I like that not only just it talk about the glamorous rock-n-roll life, but also the rough and nasty stuff. This book always had me question the what if? And I like it for that. Best character… Warren. Good book that has you think of the depth and truth of what is said. Also the style is very new and different. Very intelligent. All in all 9/10.

After absolutely loving The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, I was so excited to start this book. What I really love about this author is how alive she makes the characters. They don't feel flat or inhuman. They have flaws, but also strengths. 

I think the choice to use the interview format to capture this story is a genius move. It makes the book stand out, while also somehow making it more intimate. It gives the book another layer of complexity and adds to the "realness" of the characters. 

I was so focused on finding out what happened to the band that I forgot to ponder about who the interviewer is. The reveal made so much sense!

This book I'd absolutely brilliant and I feel sad that it's over already. But luckily characters like Daisy Jones don't leave you, they stay in your heart. So for now, goodbye Daisy Jones.

the interviewer reveal landed as corny for me. i think this book was perfect for adaption. it needs the music for real.

mara henderson

A good book and all the characters have their own beautiful voices and opinions. I found it good to read because it's also the same author and it's beautifully written though I have some issues on the ending.

To the ones we were never meant to have. Such a unique story, layered drama, finding yourself, prioritizing others, and to the things that weren’t meant to be.

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.

none of these characters were likable, not even the plot itself. that was its whole charm, and it worked well. it did not try to earn sympathy, it wanted to tell its own story the way it played out— the way rock and roll was intended to be.

No começo fiquei meio receioso se iria gostar do livro ou não, mas conforme as paginas foram passando me vi preso na leitura, eu parecia a Daisy com as drogas dela. Na real, o que mais gostei nesse livro foram os personagens, principalmente o trio feminino (a Diasy menos que as outras duas). Camila e Karen são mulheres fortissimas, me apeguei demais com elas, principalmente a Karen, QUE MULHER!

Eu, como uma gay que adora musica e que acompanha os charts da Billboard etc, esse livro foi um prato cheio kkkk A Taylor poderia ter se aprofundado mais nisso dos charts, eu iria mais tanto! Enfim, leiam!

           absolutely a 5 stars book.

it's the second taylor jenkins reid's book i've read and also this one has passed my expectations. i've enjoyed this book since the first page.

i've loved everything about this, the plot, the setting, the characters EVERYTHING ! 

everything is so realistic and believable and even though you didn't live in the 70s this book have a clear version of these years. i've loved the female characters so much and as tshoeh, taylor jenkins reid knows how to write a good female character.

the idea of the band was so believable and the things that happened to them make me think about how it was being a band in any generation. mostly because it's real how the bandmates thought they were there not because people want them but because people want daisy and billy, so i understand why they were mad at them. at the least i've loved the book and the characters with my whole soul and i will love them for a lot of time.

I would like to start by saying Taylor Jenkins Reid does it every single time. This book gutted me towards the end. The way I couldn’t stop crying especially towards the little plot twist oh my gosh. It immediately got 5 stars nothing less.

I didn’t care for Billy at first especially when he cheated on Camila so many times (still pisses me off and she deserved better). I do applaud and appreciate him working towards bettering himself for his family. Addiction is something I personally can relate to in this book with having family members go through both drug and alcohol abuse. So Billy’s character was sometimes hard to read due to my personal experience with people like him. But I’m so glad he realized the path he was on wasn’t going to get him anywhere and changed for his daughter. During the scene where he says his therapist told him ‘to start thinking of what I’d need to do to believe my daughter was proud of me’ then he goes “imagining myself as a man my daughter would feel lucky to have. I kept working, every day, to get closer to being that man” wrecked me to my core. It was so beautiful to see him transform into a loving husband and father. To keep denying himself from partying and to stay away from being tempted was admirable.

Daisy may have not been my favorite character but I loved her. I loved how she stood up for herself and didn’t let anyone tell her what to do. She struggled with addiction as well and I truly felt for her. She wanted someone to love her and show interest because her parents never did so she would do anything to make it happen and it was slowly ruining her. She wasn’t ever in the right mind due to being always high and that made me cry. She didn’t deserve to feel dependent on drugs or needing them to seem “fun” she would’ve been the life of the party without them if she had realized sooner. She had Simone but I feel like she didn’t truly feel like she had her at first until she got older and stopped the drugs.

Daisy was a girl who wanted to be loved and Billy was a man who wanted someone to be proud of him. I loved TJR for showing us characters who are flawed.

I loved Camila she was my absolute favorite character ever. The way she loved Billy even after all he did was a true act of love. I loved when she said “It didn’t seem right to me that his weakest self got to decide how my life was going to turn out, what my family was going to look like. I got to decide that. And what I wanted was a life—a family, a beautiful marriage, a home—with him. With the man I knew he truly was. And I was going to get it, hell or high water.” The way she wasn’t going to let anyone ruin her happiness or the way she wanted her life to go was beautiful to see.

I felt bad for Graham when he found out that Karen had terminated her pregnancy but at the same time, Karen had every right to do it. She wasn’t ready to be a mom and didn’t want to bring the baby into the world knowing she wasn’t ready to commit to the role and that’s admirable of her. Yes, it sucked he didn’t get to be a father with the woman he had loved but he needed to realize she did what she thought was best. I’m glad he got to be a dad in the end even if he didn’t get to do it with Karen. But can we talk about how selfish Billy was when Graham tried to talk to him and he blew him off to wallow in his self pity?! Like wtf Billy, Graham needed you for like 5 minutes and you couldn’t even give him the time of day when he’d do anything for you and has done anything for you?!

I had fun reading this book. I love every characters , I love how Taylor build them. Reading this books feels like you're talking to your best friends. But as I read Daisy and Graham kinda annoyed me, but i still love them. 

Some scenes cringe me (kinda like 4/10 cringe level)

“I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else's muse. I am not a muse. I am the somebody. End of fucking story.”

bought the book after reading T7HOEH and then i finally read it after knowing that the adaptation was gonna be released in just a few months. and well i loved this one, i am obsessed with the 70s era and the music, specially rock n' roll. the adaptation also wasn't disappointing at all to me, i think it's one of the best book to film we have, the casting was amazing, and some songs from the album is so good i can't stop listening (hi, the river). 

i guess all i just really want to say is i love the women of the tjr universe so much.

Holy shit was this good. I believe it was so much better than the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. This book was just so freaking amazing. It had great characters and just the right words to describe what they were feeling. The plot was just so amazing and I even felt like tearing up for a few of the scenes. You could feel the raw emotion of the writing and how each of the characters felt. I am just so in love with this book.
