Who is Taylor Jenkins Reid?

Taylor Jenkins Reid, born in 1983, is an American novelist and one of the defining commercial storytellers of her generation. She has written nine novels, several of which reached number one on the New York Times bestseller list – a strike rate most writers would happily retire on.

Her name was made by a remarkable run of titles: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Daisy Jones & the Six, One True Loves, Malibu Rising, Carrie Soto Is Back and Atmosphere. It is a body of work that has turned her into that comparatively rare publishing phenomenon: an author readers follow from book to book, rather than one they discover by accident and forget by spring.

Taylor Jenkins Reid in audiobooks

Our catalogue features The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, the book that has become shorthand for Reid’s appeal – a novel that announces its hook in the title alone: one woman, seven marriages, and a lifetime of stories to unpick. Fiction like this suits audio unusually well; a life recounted at length is a natural shape for narration, and Reid’s bestseller instincts mean the momentum rarely sags. For UK listeners who want fiction that is unashamedly entertaining without being lazy, this is one of the safer bets in the contemporary catalogue – the sort of audiobook that makes the washing-up disappear.
