❕❕Book Review❕❕
For the next book in our series, Claire reviewed Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reed. Claire gave it 5 out of 5 stars!⭐️ She said “As a Fleetwood Mac fan, this story would be difficult not to like! I thought that the format was really unique and I loved that it wasn’t a typically romanticized portal of fame and all the different aspects that come with it. Overall, I found this book to be very entertaining and satisfying of my love for 70s music and culture!”
