Slow
It seems slow and the story just doesn’t excite me.

Eh...maybe?
Read it on and off for a year, really wish I would have just donated it. Idk, Hollywood glitz and glam is just not my thing I guess. Not much happens in this book.

TJR does it again!
I love TJR’s writing. She does a beautiful job with making you feel right in the middle of the story.

so good
i definitely recommend reading this especially if you're in a reading slump. it's super engaging and the story is so interesting i forgot i was reading. all the different povs and 2 different timelines kept it interesting. i fell in love with all the characters as they're all so fun and easy to connect with. this book broke my heart but also made me happy, and i'll def be thinking abt it for a long time

Five stars for Malibu Rising!
This book was fantastic. The writing was as interesting as the plot line. And let us not forget about the gorgeous cover.

Overrated!!
Most overrated book I’ve read in a long time. Why does everyone love this?! The plot was decent but the writing could’ve gone way deeper! Lots of potential, fell very flat.

The perfect family drama!
“They had taught her that family is found, that whether it be blood or circumstance or choice, what binds us does not matter. All that matters is that we are bound.” * * Alright, I did it. I read my first ever TJR and……I LOVED IT! The Riva family stole my heart -especially Nina. She was such a matriarch, such a voice of reason, and I would have gone to bat for her in an instant! These 4 siblings grew up within these pages and I truly feel like a proud Mom. At the half way point my theories were a mile long & mostly wrong, thank goodness, because I was about to write Taylor Jenkins Reid a letter. Needless to say, I will 100% be reading Evelyn Hugo next and will take suggestions for the one after that. I’ve said it so many times but rich people behaving badly in novel form is a trope I AM HERE FOR!!

Meh
I was super excited about this book because I love anything California. I've never read this author, but based on all the reviews I thought it sounded like a sure thing. It's taking me a weeks to finish, and while I like the the story and the characters it's just not very engaging. disappointed.

Rated PG-13 maybe even R book
I LOVED this book. Only gave it a 4 because there were consistent s3x scenes described throughout the book, although short, it felt a little unnecessary along with profanity. Other than that I really enjoyed it!

TJR does it again!
TJR has done it again! I feel like everyone has been reading this book and waiting on anticipated pins and needles to get their grubby, little hands on it. I mean, I know I had! As nervous as I was to finally read a @tjenkinsreid book, once I had, I feel like I have created a monster within myself. I am ready and prepared to read them ALL! . Malibu Rising is the latest novel, freshly released this June. There is already a tv show in the works (of course!). It follows the lives of the Riva siblings during a 24 hour period in the 1980s. The thing I love about Reid and her writing, is how connected she bring her audience to her characters. And she does this all by writing in third person. It’s extremely impressive! She also writes about several other non main character, which you somehow feel also completely connected to too… as if you know these people or if you googled them they actually existed. All these small side stores tie together to make the bigger picture. We also glimpse into the past of where the Riva kids came from and how they grew up. . Even though I have read TJR’s other books, I did catch several Easter egg references. I love how she ties all her character together within the same world. It makes them feel alive. . Truly, this book lives up to the hype. It’s a must read, just like all her other books. So don’t hesitate any longer, get yourself a copy and read this one! You don’t want to be the only one who doesn’t know how Nina Riva’s house burned down!

5 star read
Packaged well and was an excellent read! This was my first TJR book and I was very impressed even though it was not really what I am typically interested in.
