Lynnie's Review
I recently read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid (in fact, it was one of my favorite books from 2018) and enjoyed it immensely so I was looking forward to another of her books. Similar in some regards (former stars reliving their hey-day through an interview) there are plenty of differences in Daisy Jones and The Six as well.
I loved the style of this book as each character's stories were interwoven to create a full picture of an event; sometimes it made me laugh out loud and at other times it broke my heart. So rarely does an author find a way to really show you so many perspectives on a story but Reid does it brilliantly.
I loved the story itself, but I loved the characters even more and I found myself looking for opportunities to spend more time with this book so I could spend more time with them. A thoroughly enjoyable book from beginning to end and one of my favorites so far this year.
Amy's Review
I had enjoyed another novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid (The
Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo) and my sister suggested I give this one a
try. This novel is exactly like reading
a Behind the Music story without the benefit of audiovisual aids. No fun
photos. No awesome music cuts. And since these are fictional characters,
there is no one that we care about before hearing their story. These characters are exactly like all the
people you’ve ever seen on a Behind the Music episode. Yet, despite all of this, I did enjoy getting
to know the characters and read through their journey. I did care about them. The really fun part was
watching the relationships develop.
I read this novel while on a beach vacation and it was
perfect! Nothing heavy or
Earth-shattering—just a good story that held my interest.
