Taylor Jenkins Reid Books in Order (The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Daisy Jones & The Six, Malibu Rising)

American author Taylor Jenkins Reid used to work in film production. In fact, she attended Emerson College, a film and TV school in Boston, before moving to Hollywood at age 21. This led her to work in casting for movies for a number of years. Working in casting was not her passion, as she discovered, but writing was. She left her job to dedicate herself to becoming a full-time best-seller novelist. And she succeeded at it. She published her first novel Forever, Interrupted in 2013.
