Taylor Jenkins Reid published five romance novels before breaking through with Maybe in Another Life (2015) and achieving mainstream literary success with The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (2017). Her style shifted towards Hollywood celebrity, Old Hollywood glamour, and ensemble casts with dual or multiple timelines.

All of Reid's novels are standalones — none require reading others first. The Malibu Rising universe loosely connects some recurring characters, but each book works completely independently. Most readers recommend starting with The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo or Daisy Jones & The Six.
