Until now.They were lovers and friends and brothers and rivals. They couldn't believe their luck, until it ran out. This is their story of the early days and the wild nights, but everyone remembers the truth differently.The only thing they all know for sure is that from the moment Daisy Jones walked barefoot onstage at the Whisky, their lives were irrevocably changed.Making music is never just about the music. And sometimes it can be hard to tell where the sound stops and the feelings begin._________________Picked as One to Watch in 2019 by The Times, i news, Stylist, Heat Magazine, Elle, Cosmopolitan,Red, Image Magazine and the Irish Independent._________________‘A tremendously engaging, and completely believable tale of rock and roll excess... inventive, persuasive and completely satisfying.’ DYLAN JONES‘I spent a lost weekend in this book. Daisy Jones is an instant icon.’ ERIN KELLY“DAISY JONES & THE SIX is a transporting novel – at once a love story, a glimpse into the combustible inner workings of a rock-and-roll band, and a pitch-perfect recreation of the music scene of the Fleetwood Mac era.

I couldn’t put it down’ EDITH BOWMAN ‘The heady haze of the 70s music scene, and a perfectly flawed Daisy, combine to create a fresh, rock n roll read.
