From the New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six . . . Four famous siblings throw an epic party to celebrate the end of the summer. But over the course of twenty-four hours, their lives will change 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 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.

4 (Muito bom)

muito bom, mas não o melhor.

desde evelyn hugo, venho usado a história como um parâmetro para todas as outras da reid e, até o momento, nenhuma a superou embora todas sejam incríveis a sua própria maneira.

com malibu rising não foi diferente, embora o romance abordado seja mais em um âmbito familiar e relações entre parentes. foi uma história válida, importante e, de certa maneira, aconchegante. os personagens eram cativantes e emocionais e a narração foi incrível (pisou em daisy jones, por exemplo) e nerece a nota que dei, porém, apesar de tudo, sinto que faltou alguma coisa. tem um hype bom, mas tem mais hype do que o que a história oferece. não sei se faz sentido, mas tudo foi muito bom na medida exata. não teve algo surpreende e 🤯🤯🤯.

bom, muito bom, mas não o melhor.
