Monthly Book Review: July 2019

I was intrigued about Daisy Jones & The Six as soon as I saw it as a Reese Witherspoon book pick. It was a nice departure after the languid and delicious (yes!) The Night Circus. Daisy chronicles a 1970s soft rock band documentary style, giving each band member’s perspective on the same events 30+ years later as the interviewer chronicles the timeline. I loved how different those perspectives could be. The author has a real gift for giving each character their own voice and emotions - you could swear these people are real. I had to google it to confirm if the band was truly fictional. I’ll be honest, it was a bit hard to get into with a different voice for each band member, but I stuck with it and was thoroughly engrossed by the third chapter. B+
