I loved the way this book was written, mostly over the course of 24 hours. And yet for all its glitter and glamour, as Nina says, it’s still just a place where people live their daily lives, admittedly with a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean. The cool, utopian lifestyle, the flamboyance and extravagance, the beauty of the beach and sea, and the allure of bright young people. The charisma of Malibu comes across so well in this book. Nina is a supermodel and surfer, Jay is also a professional surfer and Hud is a photographer. Apart from young Kit, the Riva children are all successful in their own right. Nina and her siblings Jay, Hud and Kit, are the children of faded rock star Mick Riva, although they have been estranged from him for years. It’s the story of the Riva family, in particular the oldest daughter Nina and her famous end of summer party at her Malibu beach-side mansion. If you enjoyed Taylor Jenkins Reid’s previous novels, you are not going to be disappointed with the fabulous Malibu Rising.
