I always wanted to read this book on how popular it was. I always enjoyed the almost famous and laurel canyon yacht rock aesthetic.
So I started it this summer then I was hoping to start the show. I just finished it and felt that’s it. NOT EVEN ONE KISS?!?! I assumed it was gonna be forbidden love erotica.
I know it’s not all about that. I did enjoy the deeper meaning it had and how easy it was to read. I liked to see the different perspectives. Book reminded me of the show The Affair.
How Daisy Jones could do no wrong. Yet Billy even at his old age was full of himself and usually everyone contradicted him. Warren the cool drummer. Very strong side characters.
I did not expect this book to touch deeply on addiction as it did. It made me think of my own life living in LA where drugs and alcohol is highly normalized. There’s no Willie nelson doing cocaine and popping pills.
I found the ending to be quite abrupt.
But now thinking about this book after all day. I realized how much I loved it and miss the mysticism that nostalgia gives us.
I liked how the interviewer ended up being Billy’s daughter. This was a great summer read.
I can’t wait to crack 7 husbands. I’m gonna go smoke a joint, blast silver springs and imagine Daisy Jones dancing in my head.
