The titular character of Daisy Jones is played by Elvis Presley’s granddaughter Riley Keough. Many fans of the book have expressed concern that the series is not doing the strong and likable Camila character justice, but I think she redeemed herself by slapping some sense into Billy. Still, Camila is loyal to a fault and never considers leaving him. Leaning into the typical rock 'n’ roll lifestyle, Billy’s addictions to drinking and drugs cause him to do things that would theoretically ruin any relationship. In the book, she is not complacent and she holds Billy accountable when he acts out, but her TV counterpart is willing to let things slide in order to keep their family together. In the series, I found myself frustrated at Camila’s unwavering loyalty to Billy. From then on, Camila becomes the band’s biggest cheerleader and eventually marries Billy, a decision they make on a whim when they find out she is pregnant. Surprisingly, this pickup line actually works. When the band is just getting started, Billy meets a striking woman named Camila at the laundromat (Camila Morrone) and promises to write her a song in exchange for her number. *Insert the sugar cube scene from Hunger Games: Catching Fire*

Claflin has a boyish charm that makes his role as a bewitching rockstar a no-brainer, even if he can never fully get that American accent down.

Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin) is the talented – albeit cocksure – frontman of his Pittsburgh-based band, originally called The Dunne Brothers. It all begins with a depiction of the bandmates’ lives before they come together one fateful day in a Los Angeles recording studio. Centered around a fictional Fleetwood Mac-adjacent 70s rock band, this series follows their fast upward trajectory before their equally sudden downfall. But Jenkins Reid is also known for her other novels, including Malibu Rising and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

Taylor Jenkins Reid fans have been waiting for this moment since the author released her book of the same name in 2019.
