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.

julia whelan did it again🥺
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.
