I'm reading Daisy Jones and The Six, by Taylor Jenkins Reid, which will be released next year. It 's a "retrospective" about a fictional band from the 1970s and is written in interview style about the band's creation, rise, and the night that changed them forever. It reads like an interview in Rolling Stone. I love the author's writing style. She brings the characters and stories to life! I'm only up to the chapter about their first European tour and can't wait to read more. It's sooooo good!

Full disclosure, I received a promotional advanced copy of this book in return for my honest review. That said, I absolutely love it and highly recommend it. I think you'll love it, too.

Fun Writing Style

* I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.*
This book is beautifully written. It is written in a poetry style that matches well with the characters personalities. The story is that of a young man and woman who were each others first love running into each other 10 years later. I will say that it wasn't as light as I originally expected it to be, but I enjoyed the characters critic of young love and love in general. The ending also fits well with the mood of the book. Over all this wasn't my absolute favorite, but it definitely deserves a read, if not for the story than for the writing style.

I love the honesty in this book. It is laugh out loud, cringy and sad. (0 more)

Nothing, although maybe not as good as her first memoir (0 more)

A master storyteller

Janice Galloway knows how to tell a story and this one (memoir) delivers like a skelp on the heid when you wurnie expectin it. A follow up to This is Not About Me,' (which I loved) , this book didn't disappoint. From starting high school to discovering a love for music and Latin, all while avoiding her rocket of a sister, Janice Galloway doesn't skip a beat. From boys, love, friendship, sex and learning how to live in this world, you'll find it all. Honest, cringeworthy, sad and funny and all written ever so poetically, All Made Up delivers.
