Daisy Jones and The Six




'I devoured this in a day, falling head over heels for Daisy and the band' REESE WITHERSPOON

SOON TO BE AN AMAZON PRIME TV SERIES STARRING SAM CLAFLIN, RILEY KEOUGH AND CAMILA MORRONE

THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

THE TIKTOK SENSATION

From the author of THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO and the bestselling MALIBU RISING

'I LOVE it . . . I can't remember the last time I read a book that was so fun' DOLLY ALDERTON

Everybody knows Daisy Jones and the Six.

From the moment Daisy walked barefoot on to the stage at the Whisky, she and the band were a sensation.

Their sound defined an era. Their albums were on every turntable. They played sold-out arenas from coast to coast.

Then, on 12 July 1979, it all came crashing down.

They were lovers, friends, brothers. But they were also rivals.

This is the story of their legendary rise and irrevocable fall. A story of ambition, desire, heartbreak and music.

Everyone was there. Everyone remembers it differently. Nobody knew why they split. Until now...

DAISY JONES & THE SIX is a transporting novel - at once a love story, a glimpse into the combustible inner workings of a rock-and-roll band, and a pitch-perfect recreation of the music scene of the Fleetwood Mac era. You'll never want it to end.

Cecelia Ahern

Part juicy celebrity tell-all, part A Star Is Born . . . Be prepared to read it in a single night.

Vogue, Best New Books 2019

Brilliantly gripping.

Reader's Digest

With wonderfully layered and complex characters, Reid's latest novel is brilliantly written and hard to put down.

Psychologies

Utterly believable . . . fabulously entertaining.

Will Hodgkinson, The Times

Brace for 2019's first pop-culture sensation . . . we're not exaggerating . . . new obsession, incoming . . . If you liked Almost Famous, you'll love it.

Stella Magazine, Telegraph

The characters leap off the page, seducing you with their dramas, and making you wish the band was real. Five stars.

Heat

A book that reads like an addictive Netflix documentary meets A Star Is Born - despite being utterly fictional . . . It's also a call-to-arms that when you find your niche, don't doubt, embrace it.

Emerald Street

Prepare to be obsessed.

Stylist

With Daisy Jones, Taylor Jenkins Reid has conjured up a legend both on the page and off. A zeitgeist book for 2019, read it before the series becomes the next must-see.

Stylist

Fascinating . . . you can't wait to find out what happens next . . . Everyone should read this.

Claudia Winkleman, RADIO 2

It's as if a woman wrestled the narrative from Almost Famous, drenched it in sunshine, sex and tequila, then left it for us to read on a rainy Sunday.

Grazia

Chances are that by the end of the year you'll want to track down Daisy's music and play it, even though the fabulous 1970s songbird never existed.

Writing Magazine

[T]his absorbing novel is full of irresistible characters, and brilliantly evokes its time and place. It's my favourite novel of the year.

Charlotte Heathcote FICTION OF THE YEAR, Daily Mirror

Unique, inventive and stylish...It's exciting and intoxicating, and I loved the effortlessly cool Daisy Jones. It is a novel I'll revisit regularly.

Zoe West, BOOKS OF THE YEAR, Woman & Home

I totally fell for Taylor Jenkins Reid's engaging recreation of the 70s rock 'n' roll scene . . . this novel has a lot of heart.

Joanne Finney BEST READS OF 2019, Good Housekeeping

It's mostly set in the Seventies, an era that Jenkins Reid conjures like a Tarantino film. The counterculture, the drugs, the parties, the promiscuity, the terrible relationships. It's also about how some people can be stars, and others can't, and the addictive lure of fame. Jenkins Reid has arranged this as an oral history, so we see the story of the band's rise to excess from many points of view. You keep wondering: how far can this go? How crazy will things get? This is the Seventies. Pretty crazy. Hugely readable.

Evening Standard

I completely forgot that Daisy Jones and The Six was a fictional book and not a real story. The cast of characters with different narrators portraying them made it feel so real. One of my favourite audiobooks of all time.
