THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From the bestselling author of DAISY JONES & THE SIX and THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO

Malibu Rising is a book that Pandora Sykes describes as "a sex-on-the-beach cocktail (quite literally) of a book" and Dolly Alderton claims as a favourite, saying, "I LOVE it... I can't remember the last time I read a book that was so fun".

The Times praises it as "365 pages of pure exhilaration".

In August 1983, the day of Nina Riva's annual end-of-summer party arrives, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. Everyone who is anyone wants to be around the famous Rivas—surfer and supermodel Nina, brothers Jay and Hud, and their adored baby sister Kit. Together, the siblings are a source of fascination in Malibu and the world over, especially as the children of the legendary singer Mick Riva.

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 of dawn, the alcohol will flow, the music will play, and the loves and secrets that shaped this family will all come bubbling to the surface.

Holly Bourne describes it as "the perfect, literal, beach read, with the emotional depth of the ocean".

It's "a full on escapist delight" according to STYLIST, and RED names it "this summer's must-read novel".

Written by Taylor Jenkins Reid, a Sunday Times bestseller as of April 2023.
