surprise, surprise, i’m giving another taylor jenkins reid book five stars. i know, i’m so predictable. daisy jones and the six was the first book that i picked up written by taylor and i’m now in love with every book i own of hers.
firstly, i absolutely love how the events of the book all is wrapped up in one day (with the exception of the flashbacks). i like medium/fast paced books so this definitely was the one for me. i actually started reading malibu rising because the secret history was being too slow for me and i needed to read something else before i fell into a book slump.
for the characters, i am so in love with each and everyone of them (except mick, fuck you. you know what you did.) i am especially in love with june and the way she was talked about by her children made me tear up about every single time. yes, she had flaws and she knew that but they were because of mick’s actions and i hate him for that. nina-baby, you deserve the world and more (also, fuck you brandon). the way she was so selfless to care for her siblings after her mother’s death and even before it makes nina so lovable. nina had been put through so much (as so did all the other siblings) and i hope she’s living her best life in portugal.
i also want to mention that tjr’s books all being in the same universe is literally my favorite thing ever. seeing mentions of people from daisy homes and the six and evelyn hugo lights up my face.

TJR has a way of writing that pulls you in and makes you forget that you're reading. I immediately became invested in the lives of the Rivas. Part one of the book is non-linear, giving us the back story of the Riva family (you will recognize Mick Riva if you read Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones) while also setting the scene for the infamous party that is about to happen. Part two is the party, and the fallout. At its core this book is about messy family dynamics and overcoming the trauma handed down from previous generations.
