Malibu Rising

Taylor Jenkins Reid

Set over one chaotic day in August 1983, this novel follows the four Riva siblings—Nina, Jay, Hud, and Kit—children of a famous but absent rock-star father, as they prepare for their legendary annual end-of-summer beach party. Interwoven with their present-day story is the earlier history of their parents, Mick and June, tracing how love, fame, and neglect shaped the family. As old secrets surface during the party, each sibling is forced to confront long-buried truths about themselves and each other.
