Product Information

The only person not looking forward to the party of the year is Nina herself, who never wanted to be the center of attention, and who has also just been very publicly abandoned by her pro tennis player husband. Oh, and maybe Hud—because it is long past time to confess something to the brother from whom he’s been inseparable since birth.

This was my first Taylor Jenkins Reid book, and all I can say is, YUM!! I’m definitely gonna want more of this. Don’t care what flavors, just gimme a bite. Four famous siblings throw an epic party to celebrate the end of the summer. But over the course of twenty-four hours, their lives will change forever. This is gonna be one of the most thought provoking, sensational, popular fictions of the next year and I’m so happy to have privilege to read its advance copy! TJR is awakening the artistic soul of the readers with her extra creative and realistic story telling skills.So they’re just having a big rager of a party? Not sure I’m going to care about the storyline here. My husband, Paul, had a few good laughs - (we were both reading books - side by side - yesterday, Saturday afternoon (nice lazy day).

Malibu Rising isn't an action book. It barely has some action, but you get trapped by the plots and the two story lines! I just finished Malibu Rising, and I'm overwhelmed with emotions. I laughed, I cried, and I come away feeling like the Riva family irrevocably touched my heart. I have never given any of it below a 2.5 rounded up, and even that was of the "this is trash but fun trash" variety. this reminds me of the great gatsby when jay is throwing the party to end all parties and then suddenly goes Everybody Log Out I Wanna Be alone with my hunny Rightnow LIKE BRO YOU LITERALLY INVITED THE ENTIRE TRISTATE AREA TO YOUR PLACE OF RESIDENCE? A LITTLE LATE FOR THATOver the years, the Rivas party has become the one event the siblings enjoy together. Yet, this year things are going to be different. the consequence of this choice is that i was no longer willing to be surprised by reid's writing. i expected every plot twist. i saw things coming from a mile away. i was biding my time while i waited impatiently for the book to end, and even after finally getting my emotional vindication as things came to a close, i was left ultimately unsatisfied. why? because i'd figured out the plot of malibu rising by the 10% mark.

Virginia slims, Marlboro cigarettes, Tab, Jeep’s, Jaguars, Airstream caravans, and Wayfarers classic sunglasses (popular among celebrities) were classic in 1983. There were pacing issues for me, as the first 60% was very slow and boring. The third person omniscient writing style kept me at arms length, so I felt detached, and had no real connection to any of the characters. It felt oddly impersonal, as if I was reading about someone else telling me these character's story, rather than the characters themselves? There was also so much filler! There was a huge amount of descriptions about what the characters were wearing for example, which felt shallow to me. If you haven't read it, don't read any further, my review has many spoilers ahead. You've been warned, my friend.Anyhow, we have the story of a girl who fell in love with a handsome guy who promised the moon and stars, who was naïve and fell for his smile, who didn't know much about the world, but still, she faced it. Everything the world threw at her, June Riva faced everything, and more.

The pacing was amazing, the plots, the romance, the characters, the writing. TJR's writing style is something wonderful *chef kiss*. I love it. As aspiring author, I envy her (jk) and admire her way to grab you from the first moment until the very end.

So I worked on myself. I was in the brain equivalent of a superhero workout montage. (I'm realizing now - why would a superhero really need to work out? They're magic. I think I'm making this up. I don't watch superhero movies, because again, I GOT TIRED OF BEING THE UNPOPULAR OPINION GIRL.) As a reader I loved every member of the family, their trials and tribulations were real, and I related to many of them. That’s what a great writer does, connect with the reader and Reid is a master at it. Marvelous read. Highly recommend. this tediousness is never more true than with the novel's failed romance, which brings us to characters. The town was coming into its adolescence. Surfers were setting up shop with your tiny shorts, longboards, and bikinis were coming into fashion.
