Review of 'Daisy Jones & The Six' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

And and I'm so grateful that this was a romance that took the harder, less glamourous road of stability and resolve. As a plus, it also made me realize the depth and detail required to make a truly great record, and the so-obvious-now reasons that bands like The Lowest of the Low break-up just as they hit their stratospheric high.
