Six years into her retirement, Carrie, now in her eighties, ends up seated in the stands of the 1994 US Open, watching her record being taken from her by a brutal, superior player named Nicki Chan.
This new epic sports novel of Taylor Jenkins Reid shows the vulnerability of professional players and the emotional roller coaster of finding themselves.
Malibu Rising (2021)
This is a story of the Riva Family. It involves maternal love, a father’s desertion, and the bonding and lives of their children. I found it boring while reading, except for Kit and Nina. It is rare that the book does not vary, and to see how many people are involved in it. I do not have much to say, the book virtually repeats itself.
I adored The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. The story of this household entranced me. I loved the lives of the children, the estrangement, the bond they shared, the adversity, etc. I loved the story backstories of the generations, how everyone met and began, the ways they carried out the journey, what was pleasant, distressing, selfish, and bad.
Daisy Jones & The Six (2019)
The memoirs and the story itself are set as a series of interviews with the band a long time after these events. I was surprised to observe that the interview format worked, but I didn’t get why it was working until the very end. I did not expect the characters would be so original, but their story turned out to be a lot enjoyable after the end. This is when the twist really works.
From the front lines, this Taylor Jenkins Reid book is probably one I really wish all my friends could read. Alas, I can neither listen to their music nor go see a concert any longer, as I was so moved by the performance.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (2017)
Without doubts this is one of the most popular Taylor Jenkins Reid book on Amazon. What can I say about this book? My thoughts were an enigma to me after reading it.
Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to speak about her life in the spotlight from childhood. But when she chooses tough gossip magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, Monique is more than surprised to see it all transpire.
Invited to Evelyn Arbuthnot’s expensive apartment, Monique sits and devours the tale Evelyn tells about her in the course of her journey to L.A. beginning in the 1950s, as well as the conquests that were made on the way, and the eventual disappointment of her pursuit. As Monique begins to understand the intriguing life significance of Evelyn, the nexus overlays into hers. Their destinies intersect in tragic and irrevocable ways.
One True Loves (2016)
The story is compelling, the setting was enjoyable, and Emma was a strong, independent woman. The main character Emma was strongly determined not to be like her family. After college, she embarked on a journey around the world, and was always writing travelogue articles and living her fantasy. Emma’s newfound interests allow her to read more content as time passes. It’s an enjoyable read.
Unlike other Taylor Jenkins Reid books, the characters involved in this story you find fascinating and in many cases, they appear in situations that force you to root for they have chosen. I particularly delight in the way Marie lives only a few hundred meters from her parents and shares so much of their lives.
Maybe in Another Life (2015)
A stunning, contemporary novel with a heroine who encounters an old friend whose existence is key to the events of her contemporary story. From alternating perspectives, we see two possible outcomes concerning the protagonist.
Hannah Martin (29) still has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She has lived in six different cities and held many meaningless jobs since graduating college. Not long after leaving another city, Hannah returns to her hometown of Los Angeles and takes up residence in her best friend Gabby’s guest room. Shortly after returning to live in the city, she starts applying for various jobs.
At around midnight, Hannah requests that Gabby get her ready if she wants to drive. Meanwhile, Ethan is prepared to offer Hannah a ride if necessary. Hannah remains uncertain. What happens if Gabby leaves with her? What happens if Ethan leaves with her?
After I Do (2014)
Lauren and Ryan’s marriage reaches a dead end, so they come up with an unconventional plan to restore their love. Ordinarily, they remain a year apart in hopes of finding a way to rekindle their relationship. Following the year-long break, they decide that they can communicate without restriction.
Lauren adventures into a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that family members and friends have their own ideas of the meaning of marriage. Her healing process, and her experiences apart from Ryan, gradually change Lauren’s ideas on marriage and monogamy.
This is a love story that chronicles what happens when love fades. It is about remaining in love, seizing love, abandoning love, and emotionally committing to love with every ounce of energy you’ve got.
Forever, Interrupted (2013)
Forever, Interrupted’s portrayal of Elsie and Ben’s attraction intertwines with their actions as plot twists the book’s captivating story. Elsie Porter is an average person to whom she chooses nothing out of the ordinary.
In this particular story, you will need to be aware of many of people’s biggest fears. Struggling with a world without someone you loved. Elsie is an intriguing character that you get along with right off the bat, a new widow whose husband has recently died and is faced with an overbearing mother-in-law who doesn’t remember you exist.
I love how this Taylor Jenkins Reid book describes the power of female friendship and how it is formed through pain and grief (Elsie and Susan). You’ll even see this relationship play out in real life.
