Told mostly in flashback, the actual story takes place over 24 hours at a big Malibu party that started the fires in the 1980s, and flashes back to the 1950s where her parents met. Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid is the story of Swimsuit Model Nina Riva and her surfing siblings. See My Review for Daisy Jones and the Six After reading, I literally looked it up to see if Daisy Jones and the Six was a real band because it felt SO REAL. The audiobook featured a cast of over 20 narrators including Jennifer Beals and Benjamin Bratt.ĭaisy Jones was was clearly based on Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, there was even a female keyboard player like Christine McVie, but it was even better because the author was able to make the story work out how she wanted. Another unique storytelling technique was used, as this one was told documentary style through interviews.
I grabbed it the day it came out, because anything about music in the 60s and 70s is my jam. My first book from Taylor Jenkins Reid was the audiobook Daisy Jones & The Six, and it’s still one of my all-time favorites. This one doesn’t really fit with the others that much in that the heroine wasn’t famous, but there are some little easter eggs I caught, so I am mentioning it here. See My Review for The Seven Husbands of Evelyn HugoĮvidence of the Affair by Taylor Jenkins Reid is a short but very satisfying story that takes place in the mid 1970s and is told 100% through letters. The book dealt with SO MANY social issues that were even bigger issues in the years the book flashed back to, including interracial couples, gay and bisexuality, misogyny, the casting couch, and so much more. The story spans 80 years from her childhood to old age. Told in a unique way, Evelyn Hugo, one of the biggest Hollywood stars of the 50s/60s, is sharing her stories with a biographer.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugowas on my kindle for a long time but just didn’t appeal to me (even though I loved Daisy Jones and the Six) until I decided to read some hyped booktok books. I am going to list them in published order, talk about the film adaptations, then try to list all the crossovers and Easter eggs I found in those 5 books. There’s a cute short story I threw in because there was a little Easter egg there as well. They also have a little crossover between them. Four books are “historical” and span from the 1930s to about 2010 and they each feature a strong, famous woman.
