From the moment Daisy walked barefoot on to the stage at the Whisky, she and the band were a sensation.
Their sound defined an era. Their albums were on every turntable. They played sold-out arenas from coast to coast.
Then, on 12 July 1979, it all came crashing down.
They were lovers, friends, brothers. But they were also rivals.
This is the story of their legendary rise and irrevocable fall. A story of ambition, desire, heartbreak and music.
Everyone was there. Everyone remembers it differently. Nobody knew why they split. Until now…
I’ve had Daisy on my radar for ages, but with the TV show coming up, our book group decided we should get it read before watching. So this was Tsundoku Squads March read.
I loved it, I loved the way it’s written, I loved Daisy, and I loved Billy. Oh, and I loved Camilla, her relationship with Billy was beautiful. Their love was so strong, throughout everything Camilla was there for him, she was his rock.
But on another front I loved the relationship with Daisy and Billy, a different kind of relationship, but one just as beautiful as any other.
I love Rock music, even more since meeting my husband, so I knew I’d love this story. A huge rock band who flew to fame pretty much overnight, just for it all to fall apart. The songs were brilliant, the atmosphere I could imagine, I felt like I was there with them sometimes, in the audience watching and singing along.
This was my first Taylor Jenkins Reid book, and I’m sure it won’t be my last. Thanks to my Squad for the readalong!!
