![]() ![]() Both Daisy Jones and The Six and Malibu Rising take place in the same fictional universe as Evelyn Hugo, and both have received the same caliber of praise from readers as well. Taylor Jenkins Reid is among the most successful commercial authors of the last decade or so, thus it’s safe to assume that The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo will not be the only novel of hers with a fan base hoping to see a live-action adaptation.
