![]() ![]() The third of her seven famed husbands was Mick Riva, a womanizing singer, who makes a cameo in “Daisy Jones & The Six,” in which Reid plays with form and genre to write a documentary-style story about a fictional Fleetwood Mac-esque band., the band’s own version of Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours,” titled “Aurora” and their split. Evelyn spends the book sharing her true life story for the first time with a young journalist. The first of the three is centered around a woman named Evelyn Hugo, a classic Hollywood actress based on the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, Ava Gardner and Rita Hayworth. ![]() ![]() While the books vary in their plots, all of the stories deal with characters who grapple with fame. Reid’s universe is so masterfully created, I wish I could live in it. ![]() “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo,” (2017), “Daisy Jones & the Six” (2019) and “Malibu Rising” (2021) are not technically a trilogy, but they take place within the same historical fictional universe with the characters weaving in and out of each other’s stories. When I read Taylor Jenkins Reid’s three most recent books last summer, they quickly became some of my favorite books of all time.
