Since taking a hiatus back in 2022, after publishing her hit novel Carrie Soto Is Back, one of BookTok’s favourite authors, Taylor Jenkins Reid, is returning to the shelves with another female-focused story - but this time, set in space. The New York Times best-selling author is known and loved by bookworms for her famous female characters living in California, grappling with fame and the problems that come along with it.
One of these books is Daisy Jones and the Six, a story that follows a fictional rock band in the 70s, taking inspiration from real-life rock stars, Fleetwood Mac. The popular novel went on to become a successful show on Amazon Prime starring Sam Claflin and was accompanied by a much-loved soundtrack.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is potentially Reid’s most popular book, thanks to TikTok, and has now been sold to Netflix, years after its release in 2017. It’s fair to say Taylor keeps herself busy, but after her last novel was published, she took a break, and it seems she couldn’t keep herself away from the pen for very long.
Three years later, she is entering a new chapter with the release of her brand-new book, Atmosphere, which is set to be one of the most anticipated books of 2025. This novel sees Taylor bidding farewell to her comfortable California settings and taking her readers to new heights, quite literally, in space.
Atmosphere is an epic love story between two NASA astronauts in the 1980s. When something goes wrong with a rocket launch, protagonist Joan Goodwin has to do her job to communicate with those in space, amid a global crisis, all while suffering the potential loss of the person she’s fallen in love with.
