NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Read with Jenna Book Club Pick as Featured on Today • From the author of Daisy Jones & The Six and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo . . .

“Irresistible . . . High drama at the beach, starring four sexy, surfing siblings and their deadbeat, famous-crooner dad.”—People

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Time, Marie Claire, PopSugar, Parade, Teen Vogue, Self, She Reads

Four famous siblings throw an epic party to celebrate the end of the summer. But over the course of twenty-four hours, the family drama that ensues will change their lives forever.

Malibu: August 1983. It’s the day of Nina Riva’s annual end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. 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. Together the siblings are a source of fascination in Malibu and the world over—especially as the offspring of the legendary singer Mick Riva.

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 for him to confess something to the brother from whom he’s been inseparable since birth.

Jay, on the other hand, is counting the minutes until nightfall, when the girl he can’t stop thinking about promised she’ll be there.

And Kit has a couple secrets of her own—including a guest she invited without consulting anyone.

By midnight the party will be completely out of control. By morning, the Riva mansion will have gone up in flames. But before that first spark in the early hours before dawn, the alcohol will flow, the music will play, and the loves and secrets that shaped this family’s generations will all come rising to the surface.

Malibu Rising is a story about one unforgettable night in the life of a family: the night they each have to choose what they will keep from the people who made them . . . and what they will leave behind.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Reid has once again crafted a fast-paced, engaging novel that smoothly transports readers between decades and story lines.” (The Washington Post)

"If summer could somehow fit into a book, then you’d find it in Malibu Rising.” (Oprah Daily)

“Reid’s descriptions of Malibu are so evocative that readers will swear they feel the sea breeze on their faces or the grit of the sand between their toes.... A compulsively readable story about the bonds between family members and the power of breaking free.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Loved the narrator but the story was all over the place, too many characters and too juvenile of a story line for me.

Love the way Jenkins Reid creates such complex and 3 dimensional characters who make you feel what they feel. It’s always hard to leave them behind when I reach the end of the story.

This story took some time to sink it's teeth into me. No complaints on the Narrator or even the structure or setting of the story. The imagery was also enjoyable, but I think I wasn't all that invested in the active culture, which is almost like another character itself.

So in the beginning I often found myself going to other books because these characters and what they were experiencing just wasn't all that exciting or compelling.

By the time I made it to part two it felt like the climb was over and I could now coast downwards towards the conclusion and it felt much more enticing in its pacing.

Anyone that enjoys the culture and or universe created here, that retro americana escapism then this will be a very quick read for you. If like me, you've started and are unsure, stick with it... it's not something you'll regret.

Took some time

I really enjoyed this book, though I related to the main character Nina quite a bit, this book had a lot of heart and emotion. The characters were all well developed and went through their own character arch’s through the course of the story. It was a story that takes place over multiple timelines and through various lenses. My favourite novel from this author so far, and I really enjoyed Evelyn Hugo; but this story was so much more emotional and heartfelt to me. The performance was great, the narrator did a great job of defining the characters and overall 5/5

Great story about a family and their love and loss

Definitely worth a listen if you're looking for something you don't have to think about or get excited about. It had a good storyline with potential but it fell flat for me. I kept waiting for the big surprising plot twist that never really happened. There were some good moments that kept me interested but I had to push through. Not for me.

Underwhelming

This intricately woven story of flawed yet relatable characters was a great listen. Highly recommend!
