At Shepherd Spradlin Mahajan tagged five of "the best books about the fabulous—and painful—parts of fame." One title on the list:
Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins ReidRead about another novel on the list.
This unique book is a faux journalistic piece that was a fun read. It was interesting to imagine the drama that might go on behind the scenes of an iconic rock band, as Taylor Jenkins Reid does. The author used Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham as the inspiration for her novel, which has since been turned into a series on Amazon Prime.
It was intriguing to watch how the bandmates found fame and how it changed their relationships and lives. This book was written from the perspective of a journalist instead of from one of the band members, which was an interesting touch.
Daisy Jones and the Six is among Isabelle McConville's ten Taylor Swift song-to-book recommendations, Julia Fine's seven novels inspired by other art forms, Elvin James Mensah's seven top novels that celebrate pop music, Glenn Dixon's ten best novels about fictional bands, and Benjamin Myers's top ten mentors in fiction.
