It makes for fun, fast reading that would be clunky and difficult to digest if written any less flawlessly. Reid also tells the story through the eyes of each character looking back on these days in a VH1-style episodic way. Taking on the challenge of building a completely fictional band, and writing all the “ground-breaking” music to go along with it, supposedly created during one of the most defining eras of rock ‘n’ roll, wasn’t enough. Reid’s dedication to the behind-the-music documentary format is, honestly, one of the most impressive things about the novel.

Daisy Jones & The Six is about fictional 70s rock band The Six, their relationship to the singer and eventual bandmate Daisy Jones, and how, as these things always do, it all fell apart. Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel, Daisy Jones & The Six, takes this romanticized time period and pulls back the curtain in a clever and wildly entertaining behind-the-scenes format. The saying “sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll” was practically defined by this time period of pop-rock ballads, legendary singers, and badass bands. There is a crazy mythos surrounding the era of rock ‘n’ roll in the 1970s. In this post, we tackle the decade where rock ‘n’ roll developed its distinct identity. At Fiction Unbound, we love reviewing speculative fiction novels with a musical twist - whether that be punk rock, space opera, or something in between.
