Review of 'Daisy Jones & The Six' on 'Goodreads'
To me, this book worked much better than [b:The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo|32620332|The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo|Taylor Jenkins Reid|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1498169036s/32620332.jpg|46885151] .
At first I felt bad for reading another "famous peoples lives" fiction, like I was encouraging talking about peoples lives when it's none of our business, except for fictional people so I'd feel a little bit less bad about it. But it soon turned into a story about so many things that are larger than the individual people in the story.

Honestly, I was forced to admit that this book deals with the kinds of "grown up" problems I find lacking in the young adult books I keep reading for some reason.

I watched a review that saw this book very differently from how I saw it. To them it was about love and truth and lies, but to me the way memory distorts events seems a natural part of being human and I didn't perceive it as lies. To me it was more like different perspectives.
And love was there, sure, but it was as much love of work and love that requires work that was there, not the crazy "I have hormones for you, you're my everything" kind.
This is a book I'd like to discuss with close people.
