With the Daisy Jones & the Six TV show fast approaching to be a major hit, these are all the Taylor Jenkins Reid books ranked based on its rating on Goodreads. 9. Forever, Interrupted Did you find yourself rooting for one ending versus the other? Do you have an opinion on whether Hannah should have ended up with Henry or with Ethan? If you were Hannah, which ending would you have wanted for yourself? I started considering schools in Boston and New York, since living on the East Coast would make it easier to get to London. When Ethan came home for Christmas, I was dating a guy named Chris Rodriguez. When Ethan came home for the summer, he was dating a girl named Alicia Foster. I stood at the wall for most of the night, killing time until I could leave. I was so bored that I thought about calling Gabby and persuading her to join me once her babysitting gig was over. But Jesse Flint was slow-dancing with Jessica Campos all night in the middle of the dance floor. And Gabby loved Jesse Flint, had been pining away for him since high school began. I couldn’t do that to her.

Sometimes I worry I’ll never find a place to call home.”After the latest incident in which Hannah ends up sleeping with a married man---and actually contemplating a future with him---Hannah decides that maybe it's time to go home. “Look, I don’t even know that he’s married,” I said. But I did. I did know it. And because I knew it, I had to run as far away from it as I could. So I said, “You know, Gabby, even if he is married, that doesn’t mean I’m not better for him than this other person. All’s fair in love and war.” I cried, I laughed, my heart got broken (like 4 times for different reasons..maybe more than that too but it's okay), felt hopeless and hopeful throughout the read.

We make small talk as she makes her way out of the garage and navigates the streets leading us to the freeway. She asks about my flight and how it felt to leave New York. She apologizes that her guest room is small. I tell her not to be ridiculous, and I thank her again for letting me stay.

Creative Play

This concept is not new. In 1998 Gwyneth Paltrow was in a British film called Sliding Doors that was quite similar. This is like it's American cousin but I thought this was better. All in all, I preferred the storyline where Hannah chooses to go home. She shows a lot more growth, learning and consideration not only for herself but also for others in this storyline. Plus the love interest is much more likeable.

Forever, Interrupted is Taylor Jenkins Reid’s first ever published book and somehow her lowest rated. However given it has a 3.71 average, it isn’t bad at all. The book is a classic contemporary romance novel. And Gabby, of course, knew all of this. I was admitting it to her at the same rate I was admitting it to myself.

And I’m not going to ask him, because that’s so insulting, isn’t it?” That was my rationale. I didn’t want to insult him.From the acclaimed author of Forever, Interrupted and After I Do comes a breathtaking new novel about a young woman whose fate hinges on the choice she makes after bumping into an old flame; in alternating chapters, we see two possible scenarios unfold - with stunningly different results. But I’m also not feeling great about my own impulses at the moment. I’m not sure they are getting me where I want to go. I let go of the mirror. I brush my teeth. I wash my face. I resolve to buy night cream and start wearing sunscreen. And then I turn down the covers and get into bed.
