My Rating: 4.9
Daisy is a girl coming of age in L.A. in the late 60's, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock and roll she loves most. By the time she’s twenty, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things.
Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne. On the eve of their first tour, his girlfriend Camila finds out she’s pregnant, and with the pressure of impending fatherhood and fame, Billy goes a little wild on the road.
This is such a unique book. I honestly wasn't sure if I was going to like it and then I fell in love with it! It is told in the form of an interview style (picture members of Led Zepplin, Motley Crew, Ozzy Osbourne or The Beatles but with more pop style music-- being interviewed by The Rolling Stones Magazine). I loved all the various perspectives and you felt like you really knew these characters and were a fan of the band. Definite recommend and the audio was great as well.
