Shortly after, Hannah goes out to a bar one night with Gabby and meets up with her high school boyfriend, Ethan. Just after midnight, Gabby asks Hannah if she's ready to go. A moment later, Ethan offers to give her a ride later if she wants to stay. Hannah hesitates. What happens if she leaves with Gabby? What happens if she leaves with Ethan? In concurrent story lines, Hannah lives out the effects of each decision. Quickly, these parallel universes develop into radically different stories with large-scale consequences for Hannah, as well as the people around her.

En New York Times-bestseller, der viser det skrøbelige menneskeliv bag Hollywood-livets blændende stråleglans.Det aldrende Hollywood-ikon Evelyn Hugo fører en notorisk afsondret tilværelse. Men ud af det blå bebuder hun, at hun endelig er parat til at blotlægge alle slibrige detaljer om sit glamourøse og skandaløse liv. Det skal ske i en række interviews med den ukendte journalist Monique Grant – og ingen er mere overrasket over dette end Monique selv.I skuespillerindens overdådige lejlighed på New Yorks Upper East Side lytter hun til Evelyns fortælling om sit legendariske liv, fra karrierens start i 50’ernes Los Angeles til hendes beslutning om at forlade showbusiness i 80’erne – og selvfølgelig om hendes syv ægtemænd undervejs. Evelyns beretning blotlægger et stjernebestrøet liv med skånselsløs ambition, uventet venskab og en stor, forbudt kærlighed, og Monique begynder så småt at mærke en ægte forbindelse til kvinden bag ikonet. Men efterhånden som fortællingen om for- tiden indhenter nutiden står det klart, at Evelyns og Moniques liv er forbundne på tragisk og uigenkaldelig vis.Evelyn Hugos syv ægtemænd er skrevet med Taylor Jenkins Reids karakteristiske talent for at skabe komplekse figurer, som læseren instinktivt holder med og af. Samtidig er det en fascinerende rejse gennem det gamle Hollywoods mytologiske stjerneglans og ud på den anden side til en barsk virkelig- hed, hvor to kvinder må kæmpe med, hvad det vil sige at stå ansigt til ansigt med sandheden. Og ikke mindst hvad det vil kræve af dem begge.

Daisy vokser op i slut-60’ernes L.A. Hun sniger sig ind på natklubber på The Sunset Strip, har kærlighedsaffærer med rockstjerner og drømmer om at optræde på legendariske spille- steder. Sex og stoffer er et fascinerende tidsfordriv, men det er rock’n’roll, der har stjålet hendes hjerte. Hun besidder en skødesløs skønhed, der fascinerer, beruser og forfører publikum, og eft er- hånden begynder hendes stemme at nå de rette ører.Bandet The Six med den plagede forsanger Billy Dunne er også på vej mod det store gennembrud. Men aftenen før deres første turné opdager Billys kæreste, at hun er gravid, og med presset fra såvel det forestående fader- skab som berømmelsen, fortaber Billy sig i rock’n’roll-livets mørke faldgruber. Daisy og Billys veje krydser hinanden, og det bliver åbenlyst, at en forening af deres talenter vil være lig med eksplosiv succes. Hvad der derefter sker, er den slags fortælling, der øjeblikkeligt skaber legender. Daisy Jones & The Six er en gribende roman, der tager sin læser med på en hæsblæsende tur svøbt i sepiatoner, soundtracket fra en svunden æra, og sangskrivningens kraft. Samtidig er den et overbevisende portræt af en tid, der fandtes engang, et band, der aldrig gjorde, og idéen om en kvinde, der tør insistere på sit talent, sin lykke og ikke mindst sig selv.
