High drama at the beach, starring four sexy, surfing siblings and their deadbeat, famous-crooner dad.”—PeopleONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Time, Marie Claire, PopSugar, Parade, Teen Vogue, Self, She Reads Four famous siblings throw an epic party to celebrate the end of the summer. But over the course of twenty-four hours, the family drama that ensues will change their lives forever.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 center 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 for him 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 rising 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.

"4.5/5- Great beach read! I love TJR and just didn’t want to put the book down"
Meredith Lavergne
"I loved this book! Taylor Jenkins Reid does an amazing job creating depth to characters and scenery. The two time periods that occur in the book tie together so well. Often I find time jumps frustrating as one is often more exciting that the other but that is not the case with this book. Loved the themes of found family and self discovery! I found this book entertaining from beginning to end. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 "

"I loved this book. TJR never misses. I loved hearing about the Riva children’s childhood and even though they are fictional characters wished so much for them to have been dealt a better hand. The book wraps up so nicely. I wish I had a glimpse years into their future so I could see how things unravel a little more. "

"My expectations were high for this book because I absolutely love the Seven husband of Evelyn's Hugo and Daisy jones and the six they're definitely 10/10's for me they are my all time favorites but this one fell a bit flat but overall the summer vibe was great and I loved the main characters it just felt a bit rushed at the end and I wanted more for the end the summer atmosphere made it a great read for the summer "
Gizelle Villalta
"I ate up every word in this book. I didn’t ugly cry through the whole thing but I definitely read the entire book with tears in my eyes. Both happy and sad. Very heavy and layered emotions. TJR did such a beautiful job with this book. "
