Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of several bestselling novels, reflects on how her daily commute along the Dr. Sally Ride Memorial Highway inspired her new romantic novel "Atmosphere." Set at NASA in the 1980s, this love story draws from her experiences while living in Encino, L.A. Reid shares her ideal family day in the Valley, which includes reading in bed, visiting a beloved diner named Millie's, and the challenge of convincing her daughter to hike. These personal details showcase her connection to L.A. and the influences that shape her writing.
"I am sure that it worked its way into my subconscious. It was there waiting for me because I've driven by that sign so many times."
"My family and I love to go to this small diner in the Valley called Millie's. The food is so good... It has such a lovely small-town feel to it."
