Malibu Rising
Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid is a spellbinding tale set in the sun-drenched coast of Malibu in August 1983. It revolves around the Riva family, where the head of the household, Nina Riva, is a celebrated supermodel renowned for hosting the most legendary end-of-summer parties. This year, anticipation is at its peak as everyone who's anyone desires an invitation to rub shoulders with Nina and her siblings: the golden boy Jay, the soulful photographer Hud, and their vivacious baby sister Kit. They are the offspring of the legendary singer Mick Riva, making them the centre of attention and fascination.
As the night unfolds, the party transcends into sheer madness. By midnight, the gathering will spiral out of control, culminating in a stunning climax with the Riva mansion engulfed in flames by morning. But beneath the glittering facade of the party, lies a potent mix of secrets, heartbreaks, and deep bonds waiting to resurface. The story intricately weaves through the siblings' personal struggles, their complicated relationship with their father, and the ties that bind them together despite the turmoil.
This compelling narrative isn't just a tale of a wild party; it's a deep dive into the complexities of family dynamics, fame, and the price of past choices. Jenkins Reid illuminates the emotional depths of each character while providing an exhilarating and immersive experience, making it a perfect literary escape.
Malibu Rising has garnered praise from numerous acclaimed voices:

Stylist: "It's a full on escapist delight."
