Story
This is the whole story, right from the beginning: the sun-bleached streets, the grimy bars on the Sunset Strip, knowing Daisy’s moment was coming. Relive the euphoria of success and experience the terror that nothing will ever be as good again. Take the uppers so you can keep on believing, take the downers so you can sleep, eventually. Wonder who you are without the drugs or the music or the fans or the family that prop you up. Make decisions that will forever feel tough. Find beauty where you least expect it.

On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.

In fifth grade my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed. It didn't take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever. For the next seven years, it was us. She's the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.

Publisher's 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.

Another amazing listen, sometimes I wonder if I loved because it was narrated by Julia whelan(favorite narrator of all time) or if it was the story. I think it was the combination of both. I will literally listen anything read by julia whelan to be honest. I have found new favorite author. I can't wait to read other books by Taylor Jenkins.

pageturner
"Nina understood maybe for the first time that letting people love you and care for you is part of how you love and care for them."
Before anything else:
the narrator of the audiobook, Julia Whelan, is amazing! Before this, I have listened to her narration of Book Lovers and have found it to be crazy good! I would totally read anything narrated by her.
This is my 3rd Taylor Jenkin Reid book and I'm starting to see a pattern: it's always about someone celebrity–rich (or someone who becomes rich), strong bonds in a superficial world, and... there's always that man. Whether it is Daddy Don in The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo or Haunted Billy in Daisy Jones and the Six, it's the same man in a way. And I thought maybe I have had enough and this time round I will abandon the book half way. But that point never came. The man may be the same but women are different and they save themselves in ways that are unique to them.
This book revolves around Nina, Jay, Hud, Kit figuring out their life since infancy - with a heart broken mother and an absentee father who is also a rockstar. The conclusive chapters are truly amazing!

A scintillating read
Having never read anything like this, it was kind of difficult initially to get into the crux of the story. But once the pace was set, i started liking the story. only it being my first ever Audio book slowed me down, as I do read along the actual book with the audio.
The story of the Riva's and their parents was kind of out of the box experience. May be because I have never read such stories. What I loved is the various characters apart from the Riva's. All the characters are introduced well, explained well and given a proper ending. For a writer it's such a difficult task to do justice by each and every character in the story, which Taylor Jenkins has done brilliantly.
would definitely love to read other books by the author the soonest.

A story about dark side of the fame
A light read on the dark side of the fame that comes with an American Dream and its impact on one's ego and their near ones. I really liked how the author has managed to move back and forth between the lives of 4 siblings and that of their parents and move seamlessly across eras. The lives of Riva's has been painted well with a deep portrait of individual charcter. Moreover, how the family bonds across ups and downs, fights and loss and manages to stay close was quite heartfelt. The end seemed too filmy, but nonetheless, a great read to get transferred to the Malibu coastline across the times of hippies to surfers to celebs. Loved the narration by Julia Whelan, as always.

Not for me
Can’t say a story about a load of over privileged people with money to burn is really my thing. It certainly doesn’t inspire me to care about them as characters.
At least the central character had some values but the fact that no one really gets ‘punished’ for their selfishness while innocent people are left to suffer the consequences means this isn’t a book I’ll be recommending.

I couldn’t get enough of this book. The story of the Riva family was painted beautifully, I loved the main characters almost instantly. I absolutely love how her books have cross over characters, it’s like she’s making her own little universe and I am here for it 100%!

Enjoyable but nothing spectacular
I enjoyed the story but was left a bit confused why this has had a lot of rave reviews.
The family secrets didn’t really eventuate into much. I think this was because you knew everyone’s secrets from the beginning, so when everything is revealed at the party, which is what the whole story is building up to, it fell quite flat.
I didn’t enjoy the male voices the narrator put on. It made the story feel cheesy. I wish she’d just read them in her own voice.
Overall, it was an easy and enjoyable read but dont think it’s worth the hype.

Addictive Read
Another 'masterpiece' from Taylor Jenkins Reid. Is there no end to this authors imagination and writing talents? And who better to bring it all alive than Julia Whelan. What a voice she has! Easy to visualise the movie with these diverse characters and scene setting. A great story of love and fame, of 'rags to riches' that culminates in opulence and luxury at the most sort after VIP party of the year. Brilliant, rich detail of this famous postcode had me there at the shorelines of Malibu, wishing I could surf. Heart warming characters, and a few to loathe, I was submerged to the very end. I couldn't stop listening, and as usual with Taylor, didn't want it to end! Loved it!

Another epic Taylor Jenkins Reid novel
She knows how to throw a party and how to write a book. I loved this novel as much as I’ve loved the books that came before it. The clever subtlety of characters across all of her novels makes this book feel like an expansion of her already cleverly created universe.

When Taylor Jenkins Reid put pen to paper you know it is going to be a great story with fantastic characters and this is no exception.
