Malibu Rising

Completely slick and compelling, but also has such warmth and psychological insight. The characters were so real I almost found myself checking out their Wikipedia pages afterwards! It’s the perfect, literal, beach read, with the emotional depth of the ocean. I was such a fan of Daisy Jones & The Six and this certainly didn’t disappoint.Heart-wrenching and utterly compelling, Malibu Rising is a story about the fierce bonds between four fascinating siblings. The novel immerses us in a glamorous, star-studded world but at its heart it’s full of raw human emotion. Its characters felt completely real to me - each one is flawed and messy and impossible not to love.Thank you Taylor Jenkins Reid for the escapism we all need- a sex-on-the-beach cocktail (quite literally) of a book. * Pandora Sykes *It’s a full on escapist delight. * Stylist, Best Fiction of 2021 *Unapologetically escapist beach read fiction, it’s urgent style evocative of Hollywood Wives era Jackie Collins. * Sunday Times *This summer’s must-read novel. * Sarra Manning, Red *Oh, how I longed to be in California with the glamourous Riva siblings when I was reading this […] I did not want this book to end! * Prima, Book of the Month *With Malibu Rising - a novel as redolent of California dreamin’ as a Lana del Rey track - Jenkins Reid has lost none of her touch … A stroke of genius … Imagine Blue Water High and Selling Sunset had a lovechild, or Jackie Collins rewrote The O.C. , then combine these ingredients with warm, propulsive storytelling, and you’ll get an inkling of this family saga’s escapist magic … Immersive and relaxing, as every great beach read should be. * Evening Standard *When the party starts, it’s celebrity mayhem but the heart of the book is family, love and loyalty.
