Synopsis: Daisy is a girl coming of age in L.A. in the late sixties, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whiskey a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it's the rock n' roll she loves most. By the time she's twenty, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things.
Also noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne. On the eve of their first tour, his girlfriend Camila finds out she's pregnant and with the pressure of impending fatherhood and fame, Billy goes a little wild on the road.
Daisy and Billy cross paths when a producer realizes the key to supercharged success is to put the two together. What happens next will be the stuff of legend.
The making of that legend is chronicled in this riveting and unforgettable novel; written as an oral history of one of the biggest bands of the seventies.
Review: This novel deserves all the hype it is receiving. I loved it, and found it difficult to put down. When I was able to pick it up again, I was sucked back in immediately. This is a genius way to tell this story. I want these people, no, need this band to exist in real life.
Taylor Jenkins Reid is a hit or miss author for me, and in this case, it's a grand slam home run.
