THE BOOK THAT HITS ALL THE RIGHT NOTES

In this episode of Why You’re Reading, Ellie and Ellen dive into Daisy Jones & The Six—Taylor Jenkins Reid’s exploration of fame, music, and heartbreak. They unpack the novel’s complex character dynamics, the portrayal of addiction, and how the narrative structure mirrors the chaotic glamour of 70s rock ’n’ roll. From the book’s striking parallels to Fleetwood Mac to its innovative audiobook format, they discuss why this story hits differently. Plus, they explore Reid’s recurring themes of fame across her works, the impact of BookTok on its success. And, of course, the big question: shelf it, share it, shred it.
