I always enjoy books with a music undertone, and this is no different. The book is set primarily in the 1970's. Two young and hip songwriters, who almost seem tortured and star-crossed at points in the novel, meet in California because of their shared record label. They are antagonistic and easily hurt in dealings with each other. The main characters are Daisy Jones and Billy Dunne, of whom one is sober and one is definitely not. She's beautiful and he's brooding. Hoop earrings, bangles up the arm, denim-on-denim outfits, Halston jumpsuits, and a lot of partying. It's a good little book that clips along at a nice pace. In the early part of the novel, when you meet the brothers who make up part of the band, "Daisy Jones and the Six" feels a bit like the Allman Brothers' early story. So if you like rock and roll stories with a "Behind the Music" sort of interview feel and you don't mind a bit of angst and a bunch of 1970's pills and booze thrown in, this book is for you. It has a surprisingly satisfying ending. I keep thinking about it. I hope he calls.
