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.
