What we know so far about the new Taylor Jenkins Reid book
On Friday, July 10, Reid took to Instagram to post a Polaroid photo of a 1970s or 80s pickup truck with “TJR27” written on the license plate. She captioned the post, “See you on 3.2.27.” Immediately, fans began buzzing, wondering what she was teasing. The general consensus was that it was her new book, to be released on March 2, 2027. But other fans were wondering if it was movie adaptation news or details on when her Broadway musical based on The Chicks would hit center stage.
“Evelyn Hugo movie premiere?” Wondered one fan.
Then, on Tuesday, July 14, Reid once again took to Instagram to tease the project. In this post, which was captioned “stay tuned,” Reid had a montage of clips, including casinos, billiards, old-time cars, the desert, record players and more. It seemed like she was hinting at something related to her bestselling book, Daisy Jones and the Six (DJATS), but as fans know, that TV show adaptation has already been released.
“DJATS did play a Vegas show, hoping this storyline has the character at their show as a fan and then your next project is DJATS season 2/book two,” one reader commented.
“Whatever it is I’ve already preordered,” commented one user. Another said, “I’m in line outside the bookstore and they told me that I am too early, but I’m not moving.”
So what exactly is Taylor Jenkins Reid releasing?
To the delight of many fans, Reid will be releasing a new novel in March 2, 2027 entitled The Last Days of Vic & Coco. It will follow Victoria Lucchese and Colette Wilson, two best friends who have been driving around the country and running their pool hustle for years. But, when 1974 arrives the two grow apart and soon they begin to wonder if they are actually as close as they thought they were.
“Vic & Coco on the road in the 70s, kicking up a lot of trouble, was an absolute blast to write,” Reid said in a press release obtained by Woman’s World. “It’s my love letter to female friendship, and I stole so much from my own life for it—so I’m all the more eager to share it with readers.”
It will be Reid’s fifth historical fiction novel and her 10th novel overall.
“I recognize this is going to sound cheesy: On some level, I do feel like these stories choose me,” Reid told Elle earlier today. “I don’t have a choice. The pool hustlers idea comes to me, I go, ‘I have to write it. Whether anybody likes it or not, I have to write it.’”
