Mona Hassanzadeh

Taylor Jenkins Reid is the best selling author of Daisy Jones and the Six and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. If you have never read either of those books, and contemporary is a genre you’re interested in, then you will be doing yourself a favor by picking up either one. Taylor Jenkins Reid latest novels, including Malibu Rising, are contemporary historical fictions that will have you invested from the first page, but do not be dissuaded by the fact that it is a historical fiction. Unlike many other novels, TJR is able to use historical fiction to take the story to the next level. In Daisy Jones and the Six, we follow a group of iconic 1970s rock bands and the infamous break up of their band. Written in interview format, when you finish the book, you will be heading over to spotify to search up their band, only to realize this was all a fictional story. Which is all to say, Taylor Jenkins Reid writing is so captivating, that you will find yourself fully immersed in the world of her characters. Before you know it, you’ll be picking up her next best seller, that is a promise.

Favorite quotes from Daisy Jones and the Six:

“You have these lines you won't cross.

But then you cross them. And

suddenly you possess the very

dangerous information that you can

break the rule and the world won't

instantly come to an end. You've taken

a big, black, bold line and you've made

it a little bit gray. And now every time

you cross it again, it just gets grayer

and grayer until one day you look

around and you think, There was a line

here once, I think.”


“All I will say is that you show up for

your friends on their hardest days.

And you hold their hand through the

roughest parts. Life is about who is

holding your hand and, I think, whose

hand you commit to holding.”


“It scared me that the only thing

between this moment of calm and the

biggest tragedy of my life was me

choosing not to do it.”
