Daisy Jones and the Six, by Taylor Jenkins Reid, is a fast-paced story about the formation of rock band in the 1970’s. The writing style is unique in that it is written interview style, similar to a script. There are no paragraphs of description or backstory, only testimony from the different characters. As a writer, I can’t help but wonder if this method was fun to work with or a nightmare. It was definitely fun to read, and the pages turned so quickly, the story flew by. I found the story to be entertaining, surprising at times, and different from anything else I’ve read recently. There is a love interest – a couple of them – but it is not a love story. I’d consider it more of a coming-of-age story for the mid-20’s age group. If you enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody, I think you would enjoy Daisy Jones.
