Malibu Rising: A Read with Jenna Pick: A Novel

Could not get into this one. Never made it past 100 pages.

TJR stories always captivate me from the beginning. It was interesting with a lot of familiar characters since I have already read Evelyn Hugo, Daisy Jones & the Six, and Carrie Soto is Back. I wish I had read this one before Carrie Soto, but it wasn’t that big of a deal.

4.75 stars!!! I LOVED this one! so fast paced and fun. kind of ended quickly but still fabulous. TJR did it again!!

Malibu Rising is a breathtaking exploration of family, love, and the complexities of fame set against the stunning backdrop of 1980s California. Following the lives of the Riva siblings as they host their legendary annual party, the story beautifully intertwines their past and present, revealing secrets and the bonds that hold them together. I absolutely loved the throwback to the '80s, with its vibrant Malibu setting and California surf vibes—it felt like a nostalgic escape! Taylor Jenkins Reid has once again crafted a captivating narrative that resonates deeply. I will always and forever read and love everything that TJR writes! This book is a shining gem in her collection.

I listened to this book on Audible during a 20-hour drive....I must say- I really liked it. I was kept engaged and I felt the author really wrote clearly and concisely. I would recommend this.
