More of this, please!

The book that this series is based on absolutely blew me away. The characters, the relationships, the troubles and the feelings that run high, the chemistry and of course the music - all of it is perfect!

Riley Keogh is a perfect Daisy Jones and she is absolutely who I pictured in the novel. Sam Claflin as Billy Dunne I was a little less convinced - however Claflin played him extremely well.

This has a few differences from the book - such as Simone, Daisy's friend, having a much bigger role as a disco singer coming to terms with her sexuality, as well as Camilla's role in the episodes expanded.

The messiness of falling for someone in the famous band is on full display here. The heartbreak, the flawed dynamics, addiction and mental health. You absolutely do believe you are witnessing the rise and fall of an actual band (this one being particularly inspired by the career and lives of Fleetwood Mac)

Taylor Jenkins Reid's library is full of gems like these, and I can't wait to see what they do with the rest of her novel adaptations.
