Review of 'Daisy Jones ve The Six' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

The audiobook was incredible, with a full voice cast it was super immersive!

The book itself I feel kind of middling about. I'm not really sure what to make of it but it was an enjoyable read. I powered through it in one day just because I could, so it was compelling enough that I didn't want to hit pause.

It feels almost too realistic in a lot of ways, because it feels like it has less of a clear message or theme, but maybe there's stuff I'm not seeing.

Four stars mostly because it's so well written and most of the characters felt so real, but definitely not a new favourite or anything unfortunately
