Writing memorable characters is a skill that not a lot of authors have. They may be good at world-building or making crazy plot twists. However, at the end of the day, characters are the main reason why readers become fans of an author. One of those authors is Taylor Jenkins Reid. Believe us when we say that after reading at least one of her novels, your life will not be the same. One day you’re going to be chilling, maybe washing the dishes or taking a shower, and like a war flashback, you are going to remember one of the characters and how you went to the trenches with them. Because we want you to have that feeling, we at The Honey POP are recommending four books to get into the Taylor Jenkins Reid multiverse of characters.

Imagine that your favorite band has a messy disbandment, and for years you’ve wanted to know the drama behind it. Who did what? Or was that song actually about the guitarist cheating? Meet your favorite new band, Daisy Jones and The Six. After their breakup, they decided almost 30 years later to give an interview and talk about what happened from the first to the last day of fame. Written in an interview style, we get to know every detail about the band members and their loved ones, how their iconic album Aurora was made, and many stories that the rock and roll life of the 70s gave birth to.

You know the actress that your grandpa used to have a crush on back in his day? The one that your grandma used to say that her acting was lovely, but her love life was a mess. This actress was always in the tabloids and on movie posters because every director in Hollywood in the 50s wanted her to be the lead. We bet that you’re thinking about Marilyn Monroe, however, we’re talking about Cuban actress Evelyn Hugo. After years of hiatus, Hugo decided to give one last interview, to clear things up. She was a legend because she had seven husbands in her life. But, in reality, those seven men were just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to knowing the truth behind the Hollywood sweetheart.

Every summer, they throw the biggest party in Malibu, but this year is different. The reason? oldest daughter and famous supermodel, Nina Riva, is in every tabloid because her husband was found cheating. This book is way more than just the preparation for the party. It is a memoir of the Riva family. A trip down memory lane that shows that being the child of a rockstar isn’t what it seems to be.
