By Jonah Calloway · Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
The oral history of a fictional 70s band — and the night they walked off stage forever. I'll start us off and then get out of the way — there's too much here for one reader.
Our little side-thread on the middle section was the best part of the month. It's a quiet book with a very loud ending. Already lent my copy out twice.

This is the pick that made me rejoin the club, honestly. The secondary characters carry more weight than they get credit for. Five stars from me.

Our little side-thread on the middle section was the best part of the month. Structurally it reminded me of last spring's pick, but warmer. Solid four stars, and a full five for the ending.

This is the pick that made me rejoin the club, honestly. Every scene has a door in it. Someone in chat pointed that out and I lost my mind. Still thinking about that final line.

The structure is the argument here, and I don't think I clocked that until the discussion. Structurally it reminded me of last spring's pick, but warmer. One of my favourites from the archive.

The structure is the argument here, and I don't think I clocked that until the discussion. I loved how little it explains itself. Bumping the author's backlist to the top of my stack.

I had to pause halfway through and just sit with it. Every scene has a door in it. Someone in chat pointed that out and I lost my mind. Five stars from me.

I came in skeptical and left completely won over. The pacing wobbles in the third quarter but the payoff earns it. Still thinking about that final line.

Finished this one in two sittings and I'm still turning the last chapter over. There's a generosity in how the author treats even the awful characters. Five stars from me.

Read it out loud to my partner in the evenings — highly recommend that way. It's a quiet book with a very loud ending. Bumping the author's backlist to the top of my stack.

I came in skeptical and left completely won over. The prose does that trick where it's plain until suddenly it isn't. Thanks to everyone who posted here — made the read twice as good.

Read it out loud to my partner in the evenings — highly recommend that way. The dialogue is doing about four jobs at once. One of my favourites from the archive.
