Fueled by the best of rock 'n' roll, this is an unforgettable novel about a 1970s band, its captivating lead singer, and the love of music. From the author of Maybe in Another Life. Everyone knows Daisy Jones & The Six. In the seventies, they dominated the charts, played to packed audiences, and won millions of fans. They were the voice of a generation, and Daisy was the inspiration for every cool girl. But on July 12, 1979, at the last show of the Aurora tour, they broke up. And no one ever knew why. Until now. This is the story of a girl from Los Angeles who dreamed of being a rock star and a band that also aspired to its place in the sun. And of everything that happened—the sex, the drugs, the conflicts, and the dramas—when a producer bet (correctly!) that together they could become music legends. In this unforgettable novel told through interviews, Taylor Jenkins Reid reconstructs the trajectory of a fictional band with the intensity found in the best rock 'n' roll backstage moments.
