The Feminist Bookworm

So, I actually read this book last year, but I waited to post this review closer (slightly) to the publication date. For those of you who don't know, Taylor Jenkins Reid's The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was my favorite book of 2018, and this book was actually my third favorite of 2018.  Is this book Evelyn Hugo ? No. But it's fantastic, and I loved it so much. I can't wait to re-read it via the finished hardcover and audiobook. This book is told through interviews, so I really hope the audiobook features a full cast. Anyways.  Daisy Jones & the Six follows a rock band of the same name that was famous in the 1970s. However, the band infamously split in 1979. No one knows why they split, and none of the band members have talked about it... until now. The book is told through interviews, and it features a ton of characters, not just the members of the band, recalling how they got together, their relationships, and of course why they split.

I had never previously read an Emma Mills book before (but I had heard great things about her!) and I decided to pick up this one because the concept intrigued me: a girl in a small town is looking for a way to raise money to send her marching band to a parade in LA, and her small town's only claim to fame is that it is the hometown of country star Megan Pleasant. The main character, Sophie, figures a lot of money can be raised if Megan comes back to town to do a concert. The only issue? Megan has publicly sworn never to return to her hometown. I really liked this book! It was very light and heartfelt and really focuses on family and friends. There is a really cute romance, but my favorite part of this novel had to be our main character, Sophie. Sophie is just so sweet and so kind and so inclusive. I feel like in YA so many of the main characters we read about can't really be described as nice, so it was very refreshing to read a book with a main character who was. There
