Summary: This is a coming of age story about a young girl, Daisy, in 1960s L.A. Daisy is the child of a painter and French model who has the need for attention and popularity. She sneaks into clubs, sleeps with rock stars and dreams of becoming a star. By the time Daisy is in her 20s, she starting to make a name for herself through her natural beauty and her singing. There’s also the story of The Six and their road to stardom. Billy Dunne, the frontman, finds out his long-time girlfriend is pregnant on the eve of their first tour. Billy feels the pressure of fatherhood and fame and spirals down the wild path of rock and roll. Daisy and Billy finally cross paths. Although Billy wants to remain in control of his band, the band’s producer recognizes that Daisy is the key to The Six’s success. The rest is history
My Thoughts: This novel was very captivating and I read it quite quickly. I liked the style of the novel – it was like a reading a documentary about the band. The characters were interesting, personal stories sometimes contradicted each other, and the interactions between the characters were sometimes left to the imagination. I thought the ending could have been better than what it was. Overall, it was a really good read.
