From Little Stack
(Novel: 2019, Adaptation: 2023)
A story about the ugly celebrity, fame, wealth and success, chronicles the rise and fall of the eponymous rock band. I listened to the audiobook of this one and its “mockumentary” style was enhanced by listening to the story, Taylor Jenkins Reid’s magnificent storytelling combined with excellent performances from the narrators to give it an authentic feel and transport me back to the seventies.
It felt authentic and I had to remind myself I was listening to work of fiction. The adaptation is also worth a watch, with great performances from Riley Keough and Sam Claflin that allow us to live every heady and heartbreaking moment alongside the band.
A gripping novel about the whirlwind rise of an iconic 1970s rock group and their beautiful lead singer, revealing the mystery behind their infamous breakup—from the author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Malibu Rising, and Carrie Soto Is Back.
Everyone knows DAISY JONES & THE SIX, but nobody knows the reason behind their split at the absolute height of their popularity . . . until now.
Daisy is a girl coming of age in L.A. in the late sixties, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it's the rock 'n' roll she loves most.
By the time she's twenty, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things.
Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne. On the eve of their first tour, his girlfriend Camila finds out she's pregnant, and with the pressure of impending fatherhood and fame, Billy goes a little wild on the road.
Daisy and Billy cross paths when a producer realizes that the key to supercharged success is to put the two together. What happens next will become the stuff of legend.
The making of that legend is chronicled in this riveting and unforgettable novel, written as an oral history of one of the biggest bands of the seventies.
