Taylor Jenkins Reid is the New York Times-bestselling author and screenwriter of books that explore love in all its complexity. She writes and speaks candidly about women’s issues, relationships, marriage, and her ambitious writing process. Her newest novel Atmosphere, fast-paced, thrilling, and emotional, is set against the backdrop of the 1980s space shuttle program. Joan Goodwin is selected to be one of the first women scientists to join NASA’s space shuttle program. Then, in December of 1984, on mission STS-LR9, everything changes in an instant. Like her other novels, Atmosphere transports readers to an iconic time and place, creates complex protagonists, and tells a passionate and soaring story about the transformative power of love. She lives in Los Angeles.
