How Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Famous Four Are Connected

10/08/2022

Taylor Jenkins Reid Book Crossovers

Taylor Jenkins Reid Book Crossovers

The Crossovers between The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Daisy Jones and the Six, Malibu Rising, Carrie Soto is Back plus the novella Evidence of the Affair by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

Have you read Taylor Jenkins Reid yet?

She has 9 books out as of this post. Four books are “historical” and span from the 1930s to about 2010 and they each feature a strong, famous woman. They also have a little crossover between them. There’s a cute short story I threw in because there was a little Easter egg there as well. I am going to list them in published order, talk about the film adaptations, then try to list all the crossovers and Easter eggs I found in those 5 books.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (2017)

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was on my kindle for a long time but just didn’t appeal to me (even though I loved Daisy Jones and the Six) until I decided to read some hyped booktok books. Told in a unique way, Evelyn Hugo, one of the biggest Hollywood stars of the 50s/60s, is sharing her stories with a biographer. The story spans 80 years from her childhood to old age.

The book dealt with SO MANY social issues that were even bigger issues in the years the book flashed back to, including interracial couples, gay and bisexuality, misogyny, the casting couch, and so much more. I loved it more than I expected.

See My Review for The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

Evidence of the Affair

Evidence of the Affair (2018)

Evidence of the Affair by Taylor Jenkins Reid is a short but very satisfying story that takes place in the mid 1970s and is told 100% through letters. This one doesn’t really fit with the others that much in that the heroine wasn’t famous, but there are some little easter eggs I caught, so I am mentioning it here.

See My Review for Evidence of the Affair

Daisy Jones and the Six

Daisy Jones & The Six (2019)

My first book from Taylor Jenkins Reid was the audiobook Daisy Jones & The Six, and it’s still one of my all-time favorites. I grabbed it the day it came out, because anything about music in the 60s and 70s is my jam. Another unique storytelling technique was used, as this one was told documentary style through interviews. The audiobook featured a cast of over 20 narrators including Jennifer Beals and Benjamin Bratt.

Daisy Jones was was clearly based on Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, there was even a female keyboard player like Christine McVie, but it was even better because the author was able to make the story work out how she wanted. After reading, I literally looked it up to see if Daisy Jones and the Six was a real band because it felt SO REAL.

See My Review for Daisy Jones and the Six

Malibu Rising

Malibu Rising (2021)

Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid is the story of Swimsuit Model Nina Riva and her surfing siblings. Told mostly in flashback, the actual story takes place over 24 hours at a big Malibu party that started the fires in the 1980s, and flashes back to the 1950s where her parents met. Mick Riva, (who crosses into all the others, but more on that below) is the famous singer and deadbeat dad to the 4 siblings that Nina ended up raising herself.

This is the book that ties everyone together the most.

See My Review for Malibu Rising

 

Carrie Soto is Back

Carrie Soto is Back (2022)

Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid is about tennis champion and record holder Carrie Soto as she comes out of retirement at 37 to defend her record. The story follows her entire life of tennis from her father who planned on making her the best tennis player in the world before she was even born in 1957.

Carrie Soto is Back tackled so many issues women in sports face, especially women of color. This powerful story really illustrated the costs of greatness, and the sacrifices one needs to make in order to make it to the top. Carrie Soto is Back is a book I shouldn’t have loved: I don’t like sports and I insist on loving the heroine. But I grew to love her and the tennis kept me on the edge of my seat.

See my review for Carrie Soto is Back

Taylor Jenkins Reid TV/Movie News

Daisy Jones and the Six (this links to IMDB)

Daisy Jones was Reese Witherspoon’s March 2019 book club pick, and she’s producing the television series for Amazon, which wrapped filming in the spring after years of delays from COVID. The 12 episode series stars Elvis Presley’s granddaughter Riley Keough as Daisy and Sam Clalfin as Billy. The adaptation will also feature original music written by the author, and Taylor Jenkins Reid was also one of the producers. The drama will premiere Friday, March 3, 2023 on Prime Video. New episodes will be released weekly until the finale, which is scheduled for Friday, March 24.

Here are the actors are that will be playing the band members:
Riley Keough as Daisy Jones
Sam Claflin as Billy Dunne
Camila Morrone as Billy’s wife Camila Dunne
Will Harrison as guitarist Graham Dunne
Suki Waterhouse as keyboardist Karen Sirko
Josh Whitehouse as guitarist Eddie Roundtree
Nabiyah Be as Daisy’s best friend Simone Jackson
Sebastian Chacon as drummer Warren Rhodes
Tom Wright as Teddy Price
Timothy Olyphant as band manager Rod Reyes

You can see a trailer right here.

Here is one of the original songs that will release when the series starts:

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

Initially slated to be a miniseries, Netflix picked up the rights in March and announced they would make it a feature film. There is a lot of disappointment about that, since the book is perfect for a miniseries, as it’s told in 7 parts. There has been no news since then (it’s been almost a year!?!), only some casting speculation. Little Fires Everywhere creator Liz Tigelaar is adapting it and Reid is an executive producer.

Malibu Rising

Little Fires Everywhere creator Liz Tigelaar is adapting this one as a limited HULU series and Reid is an executive producer. It’s still in development.

One True Loves

Though not connected to these books, One True Loves is a feature film in post production. It stars Phillipa Soo, Luke Bracey and Simu Liu. No word on when and where it will be released other than 2023 (though IMDB does say April).

Here is the official trailer:

    I almost don’t want them to adapt these books for screen, I have such vivid and real pictures of who the characters are in my mind, if the films don’t live up to that it’ll be sad for me!
    I loved loved loved the books!

      I am not going to do a re-read of the books before the show, because I don’t want it to be that fresh in my mind. The Daisy Jones cast looks amazing!

    Thanks! I also found most of these and I just knew there must be others looking for these little gems. Glad to have found you!

    I’ll look for “Evidence of the Affair” — hadn’t heard it it. Thanks again!

    Sub Rosa is in Carrie Soto too. It’s one of the magazine write ups in the book that talk about Carrie and Bowe.

I love how @kristenashleybooks can write a differe I love how @kristenashleybooks can write a different genre and completely nail it. I love how The Girl In The Woods is different from all of her other books, yet still has that Kristen Ashley feel. I loved how Kristen surprised me and didn’t follow the expected formula.
The town of Misted Pines is a bit crazy, but let me tell you, if there is another dead resident, I’ll be gobbling up that story as well. I don’t wish anyone dead but…..

I love the unique storyline of this debut solo nov I love the unique storyline of this debut solo novel from Joe Arden, and I especially love when the narrator narrates their own book and I love male POV books written by an actual male! I had a few issues (which you’ll see in the review), but overall I really enjoyed this one, and it is staying in my memory because it was different.

Do you love cooking reality shows? If so, you shou Do you love cooking reality shows? If so, you should check out Sadie on a Plate by Amanda Elliot. I loved being behind-the-scenes at a cooking reality show! There is a romance, but it’s way more about the exciting cooking show. The heroine is Jewish and there is a very diverse cast.

I started Throttled by Lauren Asher last year and I started Throttled by Lauren Asher last year and it was taking me forever to read, then the audiobook released and I switched over at about 60%. That’s when the book really picked up for me. The new season of Drive to Survive starts on #netflix next week and #formula1 starts the week after. I’m so excited for the new season! I am hoping that more of this series releases on audio soon because I love being in the #F1 world.
