Season finale: Taylor Jenkins Reid on Hollywood, nostalgia and how motherhood changed her writing

The Sunday Salon with Alice-Azania Jarvis

Where to start with this? I absolutely loved Malibu Rising. A heady mix of 80s Malibu and 60s Hollywood, it’s an absolute blast to read. But then I shouldn’t be surprised - after all, it was written by Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of 2019’s smash-hit Daisy Jones and the six. I just adored speaking to her about it, as well as hearing about her unconventional path to writing (it involves Jennifer Aniston), her love of chick lit and how motherhood has made her better at her job. It’s was a great conversation - and a wonderful way to wrap up the series. Buy the book: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/111/1116392/malibu-rising/9781786331526.html Edited by Chelsey Moore
