Popsugar 2019 Reading Challenge Prompt: A book you think should be turned into a movie



TW: Heavy drug usage




You've seen all the hoopla about Daisy Jones & the Six. We all have. Who hasn't? I've only ever read one other Taylor Jenkins Reid book (The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo) and I mother-freaking loved it. But I wasn't expecting to love Daisy as much as everybody else seemed to be raving out the novel. But I did. It's only the second book all year I've given five stars, and they were well-deserved.


Daisy Jones & the Six is a novel disguised as a fictional rock band's oral history and tell-all. The book is written in interview-style depicting the rise and fall of Daisy Jones and the Six. Daisy Jones began as a separate entity than the Six, then their musical worlds collided, then fell apart.


I have never read anything like this. I felt like I was watching a VH1 special on my favorite band. I grew up on 70s music - my dad and I would always listen to this Pure 70s album on the way to school, and this made me so nostalgic for that time. I was so intrigued by the characters - throughout the book, I felt so hopeful, and heartbroken, and angsty.






I was also heavily reminded of one of my favorite sitcoms, but I feel like if you've watched it all the way through and read this book, somehow I would spoil this novel for you, so I can't quite share what sitcom I'm referring to, but if you've seen it and read Daisy, send me a message on Instagram so we can chat about it.

Jenkins Reid's writing is so full of passion and emotion, and I need to read everything she has ever written. This book was so poetic, I wanted to highlight quotes on every single page, but I also didn't want to ruin the story. I also love she includes the lyrics to the songs mentioned in the book - so not only did TJR write this emotional and compelling book, but she wrote some amazingly kick-ass songs, and I cannot wait for Reese Witherspoon's adaptation of the novel to be turned into a tv show with all original music. Seriously. Can. Not. Wait.
