Well, this was a lovely surprise to wake up to!
Overnight, ELLE US exclusively revealed that Taylor Jenkins Reid is returning with a brand new novel, 'The Last Days of Vic & Coco', arriving on 2 March 2027.
The story follows Vic and Coco, two female pool hustlers travelling across America in the summer of 1974. After making a living hustling men in pool halls across the country, they find themselves in a small Arizona town where old secrets, complicated relationships and impossible choices threaten to change everything.
Speaking to ELLE US, Reid said the idea came to her after finishing 'Atmosphere' when she was feeling "really creatively spent." Then, out of nowhere, the idea struck: "Pool hustlers." She describes the novel as the book she's been waiting her whole career to write, calling it "my love letter to female friendship" and saying it's about "the specific way that women platonically love one another and the devastation that only friendship can bring to somebody's heart."
If you've loved the unforgettable relationships in 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo', 'Daisy Jones & The Six' or 'Atmosphere', this one is already sounding incredibly promising. March 2027 suddenly feels very far away.
