New Releases by Taylor Jenkins Reid

LIVRO QUE INSPIROU A SÉRIE DO PRIME VIDEO. Embalado pelo melhor do rock''n''roll, um romance inesquecível sobre uma banda dos anos 1970, sua apaixonante vocalista e o amor à música. Da autora de Em outra vida, talvez?. Todo mundo conhece Daisy Jones & The Six. Nos anos setenta, dominavam as paradas de sucesso, faziam shows para plateias lotadas e conquistavam milhões de fãs. Eram a voz de uma geração, e Daisy, a inspiração de toda garota descolada. Mas no dia 12 de julho de 1979, no último show da turnê Aurora, eles se separaram. E ninguém nunca soube por quê. Até agora. Esta é história de uma menina de Los Angeles que sonhava em ser uma estrela do rock e de uma banda que também almejava seu lugar ao sol. E de tudo o que aconteceu — o sexo, as drogas, os conflitos e os dramas — quando um produtor apostou (certo!) que juntos poderiam se tornar lendas da música. Neste romance inesquecível narrado a partir de entrevistas, Taylor Jenkins Reid reconstitui a trajetória de uma banda fictícia com a intensidade presente nos melhores backstages do rock''n''roll. "Devorei o livro em um dia e me apaixonei por Daisy e pela banda." — Reese Witherspoon

THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ''I LOVE it . . . I can''t remember the last time I read a book that was so fun'' DOLLY ALDERTON _________________ They were the new icons of rock and roll, fated to burn bright and not fade away. But on 12 July 1979, it all came crashing down. There was Daisy, rock and roll force of nature, brilliant songwriter and unapologetic drug addict, the half-feral child who rose to superstardom. There was Camila, the frontman''s wife, too strong-willed to let the band implode - and all too aware of the electric connection between her husband and Daisy. There was Karen, ice-cool keyboardist, a ferociously independent woman in a world that wasn''t ready for her. And there were the men surrounding them: the feuding, egotistical Dunne brothers, the angry guitarist chafing on the sidelines, the drummer binge-drinking on his boat, the bassist trying to start a family amid a hedonistic world tour. They were creative minds striking sparks from each other, ready to go up in flames. It''s never just about the music... _________________ ''Brace for 2019''s first pop-culture sensation . . . we''re not exaggerating . . . new obsession, incoming'' TELEGRAPH ''Utterly believable...fantastically enjoyable'' THE TIMES ''Pitch perfect'' SUNDAY TIMES ''Reads like an addictive Netflix documentary meets A Star Is Born - despite being utterly fictional. It''s also a call-to-arms that when you find your niche, don''t doubt, embrace it.'' EMERALD STREET ''The verdict: Daisy Jones steals the limelight... A zeitgeist book for 2019'' STYLIST ''Well observed, sensitively told . . . a great read.'' WILL GOMPERTZ, BBC ''A tremendously engaging, and completely believable tale of rock and roll excess... inventive, persuasive and completely satisfying.'' DYLAN JONES ''I spent a lost weekend in this book. Daisy Jones is an instant icon.'' ERIN KELLY ''DAISY JONES & THE SIX is a transporting novel - at once a love story, a glimpse into the combustible inner workings of a rock-and-roll band, and a pitch-perfect recreation of the music scene of the Fleetwood Mac era. You''ll never want it to end.'' CECILIA AHERN ''Once in a blue moon you get to discover a book you end up pressing upon many other people to read. Taylor Jenkins Reid has got every nuance, every detail exact and right. I loved every word.'' PAUL REES ''So brilliantly written I thought all the characters were real . . . I couldn''t put it down'' EDITH BOWMAN ''Explosive . . . a gorgeous novel and a ravishing read.'' CHARLOTTE HEATHCOTE, SUNDAY EXPRESS ''Sex, drugs and rock ''n'' roll? You bet, but it''s Daisy''s refusal to become a mere muse that powers this buzzy music-industry romance.'' HEPHZIBAH ANDERSON, MAIL ON SUNDAY ''The characters leap off the page, seducing you with their dramas, and making you wish the band was real.'' HEAT ''The heady haze of the 70s music scene, and a perfectly flawed Daisy, combine to create a fresh, rock n roll read. I loved it.'' ALI LAND, author of Good Me Bad Me

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the New York Times bestselling author of Atmosphere and Daisy Jones & the Six—an entrancing and “wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet” (PopSugar) as she reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine. “Fascinating, emotional and will be hard to put down. For fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid, this is her best work yet.” —Associated Press Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now? Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career. Summoned to Evelyn’s luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the ‘80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn’s story near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways. “Heartbreaking, yet beautiful” (Jamie Blynn, Us Weekly), The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is “Tinseltown drama at its finest” (Redbook): a mesmerizing journey through the splendor of old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means—and what it costs—to face the truth.

This is a breathtaking love story about a woman unexpectedly forced to choose between the husband she has long thought dead and the fiancé who has finally brought her back to life.
