M A L I B U • R I S I N G by Taylor Jenkins Rei $M A L I B U • R I S I N G by Taylor Jenkins Reid • Five out of Five Stars Malibu Rising is focused on the Riva family, being told from two timelines to set the stage for this famous and troubled family. In the ‘present’ of 1983, we meet Nina the daughter of Mick Riva and eldest sibling. She is gearing up to throw the famous, once-a-year party at her mansion. Interwoven in this is flashbacks to the 50’s to the present. This is where we meet Mick Riva and June, the Riva siblings parents. In time, as Mick Riva’s rockstar life begins to take off, June finds herself more heartbroken than happy. I loved how we had to burn this preconceived idea that they found and grew up with money and fame. Instead, they’ve had to fight to be that way, not given to them as the blurb initially lets you believe. They’ve been through deep trauma, having to scrape together and work as a team, when things should have been easy when their Dad is who he is. The choice to interlace the history and its placement within the present storyline was brilliantly executed. Each time we go to the past, we find another reason these four people should be more fractured. You think it’s sad, and then it gets sadder; it pulls so much on your heart it is hard to put down. My only wish is we got more of the boys, Jay and Hud. It’s a small wish, and purely for myself (selfishly). While their arc wraps up nicely, I just wanted a little more. I’m just selfishly wanting more of them. I was so broken when it ended. An easy: 5 out 5 stars, a firm favourite of 2021.
