Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid

“Just because it is in Malibu’s nature to burn, so was it in one particular person’s nature to set fire and walk away.”

Fiction — four stars. In the third book of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s epic trilogy, Nina Rivera, the oldest of the four famous children of Mick Rivera, throws her annual end-of-summer party. The book takes place over a single day with flashbacks to her childhood interrupting the story. By the end of the night, the party gets so out of control that the police are called.

Although Malibu Rising is my least favorite Taylor Jenkins Reid, I haven’t had a chance to recommend it, and spring seems like the perfect time. Reid’s books never disappoint and I cannot recommend them enough. The plot twists of this story are incredible and the characters are infinitely lovable.
