Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the Sunday Times best-selling author of Daisy Jones & The Six.
A lifetime holding it together.
One party will bring it crashing down.
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 centre 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 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 bubbling 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.

A bit mixed
Good story and great narration but essentially another story about thin, 'attractive' white people so nothing new. Lots of emphasis on everyone's attractiveness - clearly very very important.

Excellent audiobook
After listening to, and loving, Daisy and the Six and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, this audiobook brought lighter drama with all of the beauty and gorgeously complex characters that Taylor Jenkins Reid writes so well. It's a family saga that works on both the individual and collective level, showing each person both as they see themselves and as they truly are. It is funny in some places and sad in others, but all the while this book is wholly addictive. I would have listened to it in one shot if I had been able to. A definite recommend!

Fantastic story
For those that wish they surfed everyday and lived looking at the sea. For those that hold family above everything else. For those that want to be lost for a weekend.

Awesome novel
I am gradually working my way through the various books by Taylor Jenkins Reid. This is another powerful story, with strong characters. I love novels set in the recent past, especially the 1980s, so that was a real bonus. Wonderful narration.
