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. 

Having read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo earlier this year for the 52 Book Challenge and loved it, I decided to read another novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I again appreciated the flowing writing style, with some really good character development and interesting narrative bouncing between the 1950's to the 1980's and 24 hours over a day in August 1983, when Nina Riva hosts the party of all parties in Malibu! 

This book did not grab me in the same way that The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo did but I still really enjoyed the story and the two timelines taking place.
