Gripping Novels for Fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid

by Maria Couto

If there’s one thing that Taylor Jenkins Reid knows how to do, it’s writing about characters who deal with unexpected grief, complex family dynamics, scandal, and of course beloved starlets who fell from grace — all wrapped in a veil of mystery. While many of her characters’ stories are set in situations one can only dream of being in, their down-to-earth demeanors are ones to which readers can easily relate. Get into the spirit with these must-“reids” if you love Taylor Jenkins Reid.

    Atmosphere: A GMA Book Club Pick

    by Taylor Jenkins Reid

    An epic new novel set against the backdrop of the 1980s space shuttle program and the extraordinary lengths we go to live and love beyond our limits. Fast-paced, thrilling, and emotional, Atmosphere is Taylor Jenkins Reid at her best: transporting readers to iconic times and places, with complex protagonists, telling a passionate and soaring story about the transformative power of love, this time among the stars.

    Daisy Jones & The Six: Reese’s Book Club

    by Taylor Jenkins Reid

    In the 1960s, Daisy Jones is new to L.A. and on the rise to stardom. Despite starting out as a solo act, she merges her talents with Billy Dunne, the lead singer of The Six. Together, they skyrocket to fame, only for it to come to an abrupt end when the band splits up for reasons unknown to their fans — until the present day when the band members, and those closely associated with them, tell all in an exclusive interview. While each interviewee tells their own inconsistent side of the story, one thing remains true — that their love for the music, and each other has never wavered, despite the circumstances that unfolded.

    Songs in Ursa Major

    by Emma Brodie

    Of course, if you (understandably) just can’t get enough of Daisy Jones & the Six, be sure to introduce yourself to Jane and Jesse, another set of 1970s rising stars whose passion for music — and each other — sets the world on fire. Like Daisy and Billy, a dark secret comes between Jane and Jesse at the height of their fame — both as bandmates and lovers — unraveling everything that they had worked so hard to create. Setting out on her own again, Jane must face the music and make peace with her past, in order to move forward with her next act.

    Transcendent Kingdom: A Read with Jenna Pick

    by Yaa Gyasi

    Mourning the death of her brother, Ph.D. neuroscience candidate, Gifty, is committed to finding a cure for addiction. When she invites her depressed mother to live with her in California, her presence unlocks hazy memories of the events that strained their relationship. Jumping between timelines of past and present, we see Gifty’s brother before and after the basketball injury that initiated his fatal opioid addiction. After experiencing this tragedy, Gifty turns away from her faith and towards science. It’s only once these memories resurface that Gifty realizes that she needs both her faith and her research to mend her family — and finally lay her brother to rest.

    Malibu Rising: A Read with Jenna Pick

    by Taylor Jenkins Reid

    When the famous Riva siblings Nina, Jay, Hud, and Kit throw an end-of-summer celebration at their family’s Malibu mansion, none of them knew just how much would go awry in that one night. Each sibling attends the party with their own expectations — Nina and Hud hope to get through the night without being forced to face their troubles, and Jay and Kit are both filled with anticipation as they each wait for certain guests to appear. As the drinks go down, and secrets come out, the four siblings inadvertently ignite a flame that will burn the Riva mansion down by dawn.

    What a Happy Family

    by Saumya Dave

    Highly recommended by Taylor Jenkins Reid herself, the happy family in question is the Joshi’s — an Indian-American family residing in suburban Atlanta. While they may seem to be picture-perfect, what goes on inside could very well shatter the image they’ve cultivated for themselves. Following Bina and Deepak, and their children Suhani, Natasha, and Anju as they navigate their way through a family scandal, they realize that the community they had long been a part of is no longer one they can lean on. Alienated, the Joshi family must be there for each other in ways that they’ve never had before and pick up the pieces of their not-so-perfect family picture.

    Beach Read

    by Emily Henry

    Bestselling romance author, January Andrews, has never had difficulty writing a manuscript — until her father’s death when his secret love affair reveals itself at his funeral. The sweet, story-inspiring marriage she thought her parents had, now soured, and January can’t bring herself to write about love again. A year later, she’s tasked with cleaning out her father’s beach house, only to discover her neighbor is none other than literary fiction author — and her arch nemeses — Augustus Everett. Plagued with a bad case of writer’s block himself, January and Augustus use their differences to their advantage by swapping genres — unexpectedly writing a love story of their own.

    by Helen Oyeyemi

    Mother-daughter duo Harriet and Perdita Lee strive to blend in with their preppy London community. While Perdita tries to climb the social ranks at school, Harriet has more difficulty. Still haunted by the past in her mysterious homeland, Druhástrana, Harriet just can’t grasp a sense of normalcy. While she doesn’t share much of her troubling past with her daughter, one thing that can’t be hidden is her homemade gingerbread. When Perdita decides to find Gretel, a figure from her mother’s past — and the biggest fan of her gingerbread — Harriet realizes that Perdita must learn the real story behind the gingerbread and of Druhástrana.

    Carrie Soto Is Back

    by Taylor Jenkins Reid

    Record-breaking tennis star, Carrie Soto, has happily settled into retirement after claiming twenty Grand Slam titles — that is until she watches Nicki Chan beat every record that Carrie shed blood, sweat, and tears to set. Now at thirty-seven years old, Carrie is determined to come out of retirement and once again, set the record straight. Carrie must relearn how to move on the court, endure the speculative comments regarding her return, and one of the trickiest parts of all — train alongside her former love, Bowe Huntley. Can Carrie’s love of the game — and for Bowe — bring her back to where she left off, or will she go farther than ever before?

    Evvie Drake Starts Over: A Read with Jenna Pick

    by Linda Holmes

    Evvie is going to leave her husband. With her suitcase packed and her car started, she’s about to make a dash for it when she gets a call — her husband is dead. Months later, she’s still living in the house and town that she intended to leave behind, and no one knows about the plan she nearly executed — or the reason why she had been so desperate to leave. Alone in her big house, Evvie rents the attached apartment to former Major League pitcher, Dean Tenney, who has faced a loss of his own — his world-renowned ability to pitch. Will this unlikely pair help each other get back in the game?

    Mexican Gothic

    by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

    For fans of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, glamorous socialite Noemí Taboada will be reminiscent of Evelyn Hugo and the air of mystery that surrounded her. When Noemí receives an ominous letter from her newly-married cousin, she shows up at her eerie mansion, far outside of town in the Mexican countryside. Determined to investigate what’s behind the letter, Noemí must deal with her cousin’s new and strange husband and finds allies in his family wherever she can. On her hunt for the truth, Noemí uncovers the violence that the family’s empire was built on and the terror that still lies within.
