Everyone wants to be around the famous Rivas: Nina, the talented surfer and supermodel brothers Jay and Hud, one a championship surfer, the other a renowned photographer and their adored baby sister, Kit. It’s the day of Nina Riva’s annual end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. Can she just write a book a year, please? The synopsis I should have known that Taylor would find a way to make this subject matter so heartfelt and impactful. Yes, the siblings are famous, due to their musician father and their own talents, but there is so much more going on in this story. Maybe even a bit too superficial for my taste. I thought it was going to be one of those stories that’s just all about rich, famous kids and their problems. That said, when I read the synopsis for Malibu Rising, I didn’t want to set my expectations too high. I remember finishing Daisy Jones and thinking-what do I do now? What book will top this one? She has a way of writing stories and characters that really resonate and leave an emotional impact. My favorites of hers are Daisy Jones & the Six and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Taylor Jenkins Reid is one of my favorite authors-I’ve read every single one of her books.
