My summary:

Daisy Jones and the Six follows a renowned 1970s rock band as they rise to fame and then recounts the events that led to their abrupt and infamous split while on tour. This is composed entirely of interviews of current and former members of the band, family, friends, and industry elite, as well as emails, transcripts, lyrics, and prior conversations, all woven together to recreate the events. 

My thoughts: 

I previously read Daisy Jones and the Six a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. I know this is entirely fictional, but in my head it is definitely Fleetwood Mac. I really don’t know much actual history of the band, so I like to pretend this is a perfect retelling. 

This audiobook has a full cast. I love Julia Whelan and she was the main narrator. The voices were all distinctive enough to follow along and know who is speaking. I was a bit concerned about how the unconventional writing style would come through as an audiobook and I think it is overall really great. 

The entire audiobook feels like you’re sitting down and having a conversation with the band and other people that knew them. It was fun to listen along. 

I just love Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks. I recently saw Stevie Nicks live in concert in May and I saw her play a tambourine live. Bucket list item checked off! Seeing her perform made me want to reread this book. And my favorite way now to do rereads is by listening to the audiobook version, and this was a really great way to experience this book.
