i wish to be so iconic that i have an entire jack edwards youtube video dedicated to explaining my literary universe.

Don Adler (who is one of Evelyn Hugo's 7 Husbands) is also mentioned in Malibu Rising and there is also a subtle reference to Evelyn Hugo in Malibu Rising when it talks about Mick Riva marrying one of the most famous Hollywood stars

the best part of mick riva's reference in daisy jones and the six is that one of the characters says that "he probably had like five kids at that point" which I think was a really subtle way to tease at the plot of malibu rising

Violet North (Rex North's daughter - Evelyn's fourth husband) goes to Nina's party in Malibu Rising too! It was a small appearance but cool to see!

I'm so bad at catching these references because I suck at remembering names. But one character I wish gets its own novel, or at least a short story is the younger Riva sister, the one they found out about in the end, her backstory is so intriguing.

Mike’s Mic had ‘Pretty Little Liars’, Jack in the Books has The Taylor Jenkins Reed Crossover Universe.

I went to her book tour for Carrie Soto and she said that she’s done writing books in this universe!!! 😭😭😭 I obviously would love if she kept going with it because it’s SO fun to make all these connections but at the same time I’m sure whatever she does next will be just as fantastic!

I swear to God, if we get a Kit Riva book I would actually cry tears of pure joy! x

In Malibu Rising when they are talking about the fabulous Riva parties from years past they mention that Wyatt Stone was there one year (the man that stole the song “Stumbled on Sublime” from Daisy) in Daisy Jones and the Six

When I read Carrie Soto, she mentioned some drama about a popstar and I was immediately convinced that she would become the new protagonist of the next book, maybe even inspired by Britney Spears. BUT THEN i read that TJR is actually done writing this universe. I‘m actually so sad about it, i love the references and I am in general always intrigued by books about people in the public eye.

at the beginning of Malibu rising, in the early hours of the insane party, she mentioned seeing members of daisy jones and the six. I remember being so excited because that was the first time I realized the complex and crazy universe Taylor Jenkins Reid masterfully created.

Camilla was a side chick, now she's Queen Consort 🤣🤣I am howling!

In malibu rising, when talking about the previous years parties, it mentions don adler (one of evelyn’s husbands)

pretty sure that sunset studios and runner records are also mentioned in multiple books - I think mick riva talks about a record deal with runner records in malibu rising, and obviously they are the six's record label :)

Hear me out... what if the next book is about Wendy who worked at Riva's Seafood (was that the name of June's restaurant?)? If the other books shine a light on a spectualar/popular woman in a specific industry, Wendy could be food. We know from her little section in Malibu Rising that she was leaving California and going back to her home town. What if she ends up working as a waitress again in that small town and ultimately becoming a prolific chef? Her story could be about her journey in the culinary world. Just a thought. That being said, it would be great if she wrote a I'm-writing-this-to-fund-my-Summer-home novella on Hunter Cameron and her time in Spain after her mother's retirement. Again, just a thought.

I have another one! Violet North is the daughter of Rex North (one of Evelyn's husbands), and she's mentioned early on in Malubi rising. Apparently Kit and Violet talked at one of the Riva parties and Kit was fangirling about her afterwards

I was a huge Jacqueline Wilson fan years ago, and my favourite parts were finding the old characters that made appearances in her more modern books. When Ruby and Garnet appeared in The Butterfly Club I SCREAMED!

Taylor Jenkins Reid's books mean so much to me. I own and have read everything she has ever written. My dad passed away due to substance abuse and my mom was in and out of my life so I raised my siblings. I have never related to a book character as much as I relate to Nina Riva. Malibu rising made me feel so seen I actually cried. I grew up hanging around local venues and bands, so I really related to daisy jones and the six as well and thought it was great . I love all of tjr's books even her early work like after I do, one true lovers,maybe in another life etc. You can really see how much she has grown in her writing. I think what makes Taylor's books so amazing is how well she can write a relastic flawed character. Her work was always amazing but as a fan I really like that her book universe has a avengers or taylor swift vibe now where she teases things and leaves so many connections or Easter eggs.

i don't think i've clicked that fast on any video, ever

Oh by the way, I really loved Taylor’s shower story “evidence of the affair” it’s on kindle unlimited and prime reading it’s really good and they do mention Daisy jones and the six

The Sub Rosa magazine also appears in Carrie Soto!

I could see Lisa Crown (more than Ruby Kelly I think) because her story would be placed in another part of "the public eye" of you get what I mean (we had Music, Sport, Acting and Modeling/generally being a socialite in the other books and presenter would be new/different)

Ah yes, finally someone made a guide to the TJRLU. 😌

If you're reading this... You missed out on the place: Chateau Marmont It links Daisy Jones & the six with Carrie soto is back... As far as I remember, the six used to live in that place intially. I don't exactly remember where it was mentioned in Carrie sotto, but I'm pretty sure it was.

WOW. The only book I have read is Evelyn Hugo. Now I HAVE to read the rest of the books in order to meet all these people in this New Literary Universe!! Thanks Jack!!!!

I read seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo and loved it! Now I want to read all Taylor Jenkins Reid books and see the references you pointed out! Very cool and unique video 😍

i TRULY wanna see kit riva have her own novel. i really liked her and i wanna see more of her and *her* story. if you’ve read malibu rising… you know.

What would be wild would be if the editor-in-chief of either Vivant or Sub Rosa got their own book in which they detail what is was like trying to follow icons such as Daisy Jones and Nina Riva etc (since all the timelines have a bit of overlap, I can imagine there would be a period of 5-10 years where the publications were scrambling to get coverage on all four of the women)

I’m always more curious as to who all these people are based off of. Evelyn Hugo is based on Elizabeth Taylor but also Ava Gardner and Rita Hayworth. Daisy Jones is based on Stevie Nix and the band is based on Fleetwood Mac. Haven’t read Carrie Soto yet but I’m almost certain she’s based on Maria Navratilova (at least in part). I want to know more about everyone else to figure out who their inspirations are. Also I’m pretty sure Vivant Magazine is supposed to be Vogue Magazine.

Any thoughts on Nicki Chan's girlfriend in the epilogue of Carrie Soto is back being an Easter egg? I can't stop thinking about her being Kit Riva.

At one point they mention Runner Records in Malibu Rising, which is the record label that Daisy Jones and They Six were signed to

That opening line was *chef’s kiss* perfection

It's such crazy timing that you do this video when I just started Malibu Rising. And in the first couple of chapters they did mention Don Adler. During the flashback telling how their parents got married, June says Don Adler was at the club where Mick was performing. I'm kind of glad I watched your video because I had no idea going in they were connected and I had only read Evelyn Hugo before this. I knew Mick Riva sounded familiar. 🤣

There's also another link for Evelyn hugo and Malibu Rising! In Malibu Rising, Veronica Lowe is the woman Mick Riva leaveJune Riva for. In Evelyn Hugo, there's an excerpt of Mick Riva talking about divorcing "the siren Veronica Lowe".

The effort jack has put in this video is more than what I did for my master's thesis

I felt like Malibu Rising was as much about name dropping and building a universe as it was about telling a story. I felt it lost steam at the end because of this.

Year of the side chick 😂😂 I’ve read 7H and been wanting to read the rest of TJR books but haven’t had the motivation to do so lately, but knowing all these connect is making me want to pick them up right now!!

How did I never realise Mick Riva was in all of them?? Omg 😂 I hope he gets a book about him to be honest

THIS IS A LIFESAVER i wanted a video like this for SO long. glad, i can finally get into reading tjr books

evidence of the affair is actually one of my favorite tjr's! it's a super short story, and i really recommend it, especially of you like stories told in mixed media formats :)

Most of the ones you pointed out I was already aware of, but you pointed out a couple I didn't notice so that's cool!

honestly your videos are all i need

You’ve got way too much time on your hands and I love it!!

You need to do a video exploring the links within the Alice Oseman universe! I've loved reading all her novels and spotting the links

OH MY GOD I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN I SAW YOU POSTED

I picked up Malibu Rising because of you reccomended it. About a month ago I saw a different authortuber read Daisy Jones and the Six and they name dropped Mick Riva. Fast foward to current time, I ordered both Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones and the Six for my bday, and I also will write or try to write a Celebrity book for NaNoWriMo. Thank You so so much for introducing me to TJR!

The Sarah Dessen universe is like that. Some of the minor characters in one book will become a major character in another book and so on. There are also minor characters that make a debut in other book(s).

You literally released this at the perfect time, having read Evelyn Hugo earlier in the year, I'm now currently reading Malibu Rising and I keep recognising names of things mentioned in the former, definitely will have to read Daisy Jones and Carrie Soto ASAP now.

I wish we have more (and popular) content creators discussing book universes or book histories in general!

OMGGGG I LOVE THIS VIDEO THANK YOU SO MUCH🥰🥰

Fantastic video! I am just pages away from finishing Carrie Soto, and I've read and loved the other 3 books as well. I love this universe!

This is the video I've been waiting for

It's jack I can't be more happier than now, I've clicked like before even watching the video, quality baby quality!!!

I just got Malibu rising from the charity shop and I’ve been putting reading it off for so long…thanks for giving me the courage rage to try it 😂

You are a gift to all the universes. ❤

Sub Rosa is also mentioned briefly in Carrie Soto is Back!

Now THAT is a complex web! It was very satisfying indeed, I agree with you.

This is everything I needed and I didn't know I needed it

This was just what I needed! Just finished Carrie Soto 💕

Thanks for this information. I’m not sure when I’ll get around to reading her books but I’m really looking forward to it now

PERFECT timing. Just finished Carrie Soto is Back... what an absolute READ

Also there’s a reference to Don Adler In Malibu rising who is also one of Evelyn’s husbands !!!

considering I have read all of these as of today, this was the perfect time for this video to come up (and I also feel as though I need to read them all again)

This was awesome! Thanks Jack! I still need to read Carrie Soto and her backlist books.

Omg I've been looking for a video like this!!!

Looooooved this Jack!

Omg so many I missed! This is amazing!

I’ve needed this video

Thank you Jack for this now i gotta find all those easter eggs in the books!!

loved this!!

Yes yes!! I loved these 4 TJR books and had made a joke about keeping my book club friends in the loop about the TJR universe with the latest 2.

My biggest flex is that I met Taylor Jenkins Reid at a book festival

this was pure gold!

i actually think a mick riva book would be fascinating

I love this! Love TJR!

You are so amazing Jack 😊

This is such a creative idea (: slay Jack

This has got to be one of my favorite thing of all time.

I was just starting my first Taylor Jenkins Reid book (Malibu Rising) so this is just perfect! 🥰

LIVING FOR THIS

Oh my goodness thank you SO MUCH you are literally doing god’s work 👏🏻

Didnt know I needed this but boy, did I need this

I’ve read all these books and I never realized there were so many connections like this. I guess I need to reread them all and pay more attention to names 🤷🏻‍♀️

i worship u for this video!

I'm just going to like this now and come back and watch it later. That's how good I'm anticipating this video to be.

I didn’t know how much I needed this video lol

Reading my first TJR book right now! Brb as soon as I'm all caught up on the Taylorverse

omg a video I didn't know I needed. Not me currently finishing Carrie Soto is Back

I so needed this genius!!!!!

omgosh you have 300k subscribers. I remember when you had less than 100k. yesss!!!

I want a celia st james book so so so badly

one of my favs idk if a lot of ppl picked up on, in malibu rising jennifer beals is mentioned to be at the party. in the audiobook of daisy jones and the six, jennifer beals reads for daisy.

i haven't read any of these, but this was so enjoyable :) it made me want to write a universe of books that connect

this was a video I didn't know I needed

I am putting off watching this video whilst I read three of the books in the video. Cannot wait until that date

i take notes during every book i read & i starting marking down every single character mentioned in all these books just to see if there were any crossovers😭

I so want to watch this but I don’t want spoilers 😭 I’ll be back to watch in a couple weeks!

jack you are SO cool /gen

Love seeing these all mapped out. I listened to Daisy Jones before I knew about the universe so I don't think I fully appreaciated the cameos in other books. I haven't gotten around to Carrie Soto yet or her earlier books that were rereleased recently.

Year of the sidekick and that ✨subtle✨ dig at Camilla😂😂😂😂 Jack is my absolute favourite human😍
