Taylor Jenkins Reid is the New York Times bestselling author of Atmosphere, Carrie Soto Is Back, Malibu Rising, Daisy Jones & The Six, and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, as well as four other novels. Her next novel, The Last Days of Vic & Coco, will release on March 2, 2027. She lives in Los Angeles.
We finally have the title of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s new book, and I couldn’t be more excited! This has instantly shot to the very top of my most anticipated reads. I already know I’ll be counting down the days until I can get my hands on it. Roll on release day!
Pre-release: I have not yet read any TJR book but this blurb sounds way too good 🥹🩵 seems I need to get on her books already! Should I start with The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo?
This woman has managed to make me care about tennis, messy privileged Malibu surfers, astronauts and now, pool hustlers in the 70s, apparently???? I'm sure I will inhale this in a few days like her other books.
reading a taylor jenkins reid book means you're always going to be fed. do i know anything about pool? hell no. is this book going to change my life? hell yes.

I'm not sure what book gods we did right by to get such an early copy to read, but boy howdy will I make a sacrifice and hot damn was it worth it!
The characters were amazing. The dialog was immaculate. The settings were well constructed. The tension was spectacular. The relationships were balanced.
I do wish we knew just a bit more of Vic & Coco's beginning together.. if nothing more than to help in the back-story and build-up. That said, I feel like the crux of the story is what you do for the people you love (or what you can offer as a person at all), which doesn't necessarily mean I need to know how they got there. I just need to believe they are there... which I certainly did!
I also appreciated the time period, the monetary and moral struggles; the precipice of world leaders we can maybe not trust; the unease of hurting others, particularly those maybe in a bad spot; the female focus and womanly struggles, with the toxic male acknowledgement and the wholesome man recognition.
"Well, first of all, I'm not a dancing monkey in scenario. I'm just a regular monkey who can't dance."
Oh friends, Taylor Jenkins Reid has done it again! . I have no idea what I did well as a bookseller to be graced with the most early copy of this book but thank you thank you! . I binged the story in 48 hours- this Thelma and Louise/ Bonnie and Clyde coded story to two best friends who hustle games of pool set in the 70s? Say less. . I became obsessed with Vic and Coco and the supporting characters as well. The story of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, raw talent, and at times, dumb luck- this story is the perfect recipe for an unforgettable read! . Too bad the readers have to wait until March 2027!
