'Daisy Jones And The Six' Should Be Next On Your Books To Read List
Jenna Collins

Thanks to my undying love for books and my Book of the Month subscription, I read a lot of books. I prefer suspense/thriller novels when I read a book for pleasure, but I've recently been trying to expand my horizons.

"Daisy Jones and The Six" by Taylor Jenkins Reid was my March Book of the Month pick. I'm a huge fan of classic rock so as soon as I saw that it was about the 70s rock and roll scene it was a no brainer for me that it would be my pick for the month. I was anxiously checking my mail to see if my BOTM box had arrived more than I normally do each month.

"Daisy Jones and The Six" follows two storylines that ultimately blend into one. In an interview style, the story of how one of the biggest rock bands ends up breaking up at the height of their career unfolds on the pages in a way that will leave you wondering if Daisy Jones and The Six are real and subsequently wishing they were.

Daisy Jones is a young singer who finds herself wrapped up in the groupie lifestyle before eventually being signed to a record label. She's a tragically beautiful young woman with an erratic personality, partially due to her headstrong nature and partially due to drugs.

The Six is a band hailing from the east coast who moves across the country to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music. Fronted by a man named Billy who, much like Daisy Jones, has a very headstrong personality and tends to be the decision maker for the band. The night before they leave for their tour, Billy learns his fiancée is pregnant.

Thanks to a suggestion made by a producer at their record label, The Six end up working with Daisy Jones.

I was hooked from the first few pages of this book. What drew me in? The book is written in an interview format. It's like reading an interview with your favorite band in a magazine. This is a style that I've never seen before and at first, I was hesitant about it, but I ended up loving the format! It adds an element of authenticity that you wouldn't get if the story was written like a typical narrative.

Daisy Jones is the other main reason I was hooked from the start. Don't get me wrong, I love The Six and the storylines given to the members of the band, but it was Daisy who I really vibed with. Even with her flaws I still found myself wishing I could be more like Daisy Jones.

You'll find you'll be quickly pulled into finding out what happens next to each of the characters. Their dialogue is written so well that you can still vividly see what's going on in the story without the author having to describe it for you.

I was unable to put this book down once I started and I've already re-read it a few times. I am always pleased with the books I pick from Book of the Month, but I would definitely rank this book as one of the best ones I've ever picked.

I can't recommend this book enough! For the ultimate reading experience, I suggest listening to a vinyl record while you read or at the very least finding a good classic rock playlist on Spotify.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
