<b>THE <i>SUNDAY TIMES</i>AND <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER</b><b><br></b><br> <b>'I LOVE it . . . I can't remember the last time I read a book that was so fun'</b> DOLLY ALDERTON<i><br></i><b>_________________</b><br> <b>They were the new icons of rock and roll, fated to burn bright and not fade away.<br> But on 12 July 1979, it all came crashing down.</b><br> <br> There was <b>Daisy</b>, rock and roll force of nature, brilliant songwriter and unapologetic drug addict, the half-feral child who rose to superstardom.<br> <br> There was <b>Camila</b>, the frontman's wife, too strong-willed to let the band implode - and all too aware of the electric connection between her husband and Daisy.<br> <br> There was <b>Karen</b>, ice-cool keyboardist, a ferociously independent woman in a world that wasn't ready for her.<br> <br> And there were the men surrounding them- the feuding, egotistical Dunne brothers, the angry guitarist chafing on the sidelines, the drummer binge-drinking on his boat, the bassist trying to start a family amid a hedonistic world tour. They were creative minds striking sparks from each other, ready to go up in flames.<br> <br> <b>It's never just about the music...</b><br> <b>_________________</b><br> <br> <b>'Brace for 2019's first pop-culture sensation</b> <b>. . .</b><b>we're not exaggerating</b> <b>. . .</b><b>new obsession, incoming'</b> <i>TELEGRAPH</i><br> <b><br></b><b>'Utterly believable...fantastically enjoyable'</b><i>THE TIMES</i><br> <i><br></i><b>'Pitch perfect'</b><i>SUNDAY TIMES<br> <br></i><b>'Reads like an addictive Netflix documentary meets <i>A Star Is Born</i>- despite being utterly fictional. It's also a call-to-arms that when you find your niche, don't doubt, embrace it.'</b> <i>EMERALD STREET</i><br> <i><br></i><b>'The verdict- <i>Daisy Jones</i>steals the limelight... A zeitgeist book for 2019'</b> <i>STYLIST</i><br> <i><br></i><b>'Well observed, sensitively told . . . a great read.</b><b>'</b>WILL GOMPERTZ,<i>BBC</i><br> <br> <b>'A tremendously engaging, and completely believable tale of rock and roll excess... inventive, persuasive and completely satisfying.'</b> DYLAN JONES<br> <br> <b>'I spent a lost weekend in this book. Daisy Jones is an instant icon.'</b> ERIN KELLY<br> <br> <b>'DAISY JONES & THE SIX is a transporting novel - at once a love story, a glimpse into the combustible inner workings of a rock-and-roll band, and a pitch-perfect recreation of the music scene of the Fleetwood Mac era. You'll never want it to end.'</b> CECILIA AHERN<br> <b><br> 'Once in a blue moon you get to discover a book you end up pressing upon many other people to read. Taylor Jenkins Reid has got every nuance, every detail exact and right. I loved every word.'</b> PAUL REES<br> <br> <b>'So brilliantly written I thought all the characters were real . . . I couldn't put it down'</b>EDITH BOWMAN<br> <i><br></i><b>'Explosive . . . a gorgeous novel and a ravishing read.'</b> CHARLOTTE HEATHCOTE, <i>SUNDAY EXPRESS</i><br> <b><br> 'Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll? You bet, but it's Daisy's refusal to become a mere muse that powers this buzzy music-industry romance.'</b> HEPHZIBAH ANDERSON, <i>MAIL ON SUNDAY</i><br> <i><br></i><b>'The characters leap off the page, seducing you with their dramas, and making you wish the band was real.'</b> <i>HEAT</i><br> <b><br></b><b>'The heady haze of the 70s music scene, and a perfectly flawed Daisy, combine to create a fresh, rock n roll read. I loved it.'</b>ALI LAND, author of <i>Good Me Bad Me</i>
