If you’re looking for Taylor Jenkins Reid books in order, her bibliography spans contemporary relationship novels, historical fiction about fame and ambition, and a love story set against NASA’s 1980s Space Shuttle program. She is best known for The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Daisy Jones & The Six, Malibu Rising, Carrie Soto Is Back, and Atmosphere.
Reid’s novels are standalones, although four share a connected fictional world. This guide covers her complete fiction bibliography, the connections between her books, and the screen adaptations based on her work.

Taylor Jenkins Reid Books in Publication Order
Taylor Jenkins Reid’s first novel was Forever, Interrupted, published in 2013. I recommend the sequence below if you want one complete reading order because it places the novels and Evidence of the Affair together by first U.S. publication.
- Forever, Interrupted (2013)
- After I Do (2014)
- Maybe in Another Life (2015)
- One True Loves (2016)
- The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (2017)
- Evidence of the Affair (2018) (Short Story)
- Daisy Jones & The Six (2019)
- Malibu Rising (2021)
- Carrie Soto Is Back (2022)
- Atmosphere (2025)
- The Last Days of Vic & Coco (2027)
Reid’s novels can be read as standalones. My advice is still to follow publication order if you plan to read several of them. That preserves the character cameos and references in the connected books without making the rest of her bibliography feel like a series.
The Daisy Jones & The Six (Deluxe Edition) (2026) is an optional extra rather than a separate novel. It adds a new letter to readers, an extended ending told through Daisy and Camila’s emails, a new phone transcript between Billy and Daisy, and images from Reid’s research notebook. I’d choose it instead of the standard edition if the bonus material matters to you, but you don’t need both versions for the reading order.
Which Taylor Jenkins Reid Books Are Connected?
Four Taylor Jenkins Reid novels share the same fictional world. They are interconnected standalones rather than a numbered series, but I recommend reading them in publication order:
Mick Riva is the clearest thread running through all four books, and other characters and events cross from one story into another. In my view, those connections make publication order worthwhile, but each novel still tells a complete story of its own.
This connected sequence is limited to the four books above. I wouldn’t add Atmosphere or The Last Days of Vic & Coco without a confirmed connection to that shared world.
Taylor Jenkins Reid Book-to-Screen Adaptations
Some Taylor Jenkins Reid adaptations are available to watch, while several others remain in development. I’d treat every unreleased project as provisional until its studio announces a cast, production schedule, or release date.
Released Adaptations
Daisy Jones & The Six premiered on Prime Video in March 2023 as a limited series. It stars Riley Keough as Daisy Jones and Sam Claflin as Billy Dunne, with Camila Morrone as Camila Alvarez and Suki Waterhouse as Karen Sirko.
One True Loves was released as a feature film in April 2023. Reid and her husband, Alex Jenkins Reid, co-wrote the screenplay. The movie stars Phillipa Soo as Emma, Simu Liu as Sam, and Luke Bracey as Jesse.
Adaptations in Development
- Forever, Interrupted: Netflix and A24 are developing a limited series with Laura Dern and Margaret Qualley attached to star. Julia Bicknell is the writer and showrunner.
- The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: Netflix is developing a feature film with Anna Kendrick directing. Casting and a release date have not been announced.
- Malibu Rising: The television adaptation was developed at Hulu, but Reid’s producing partner later said the project needed a new distributor. Its distributor, cast, and release date remain unconfirmed.
- Carrie Soto Is Back: Netflix is developing a television series with Serena Williams serving as an executive producer.
- Atmosphere: Laika is developing a live-action feature film with Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck directing.
About Taylor Jenkins Reid
Taylor Jenkins Reid is an American novelist known for contemporary stories about relationships and historical fiction centered on ambitious women. She was born in Maryland, grew up in Massachusetts, and graduated from Emerson College before moving to Los Angeles.
Reid originally moved to Los Angeles to work in casting. She later worked in entertainment, technology, and education, and began writing Forever, Interrupted while teaching. Finishing that first novel helped her realize that fiction was the career she wanted.
In my view, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo marks the clearest shift in Reid’s career. Her first four novels focused on contemporary relationships, while Evelyn Hugo began a run of historical stories about public figures and the private costs of fame. Atmosphere carried that historical approach into NASA’s Space Shuttle program. Reid lives in Los Angeles with her husband and daughter.
