4.0

Malibu Rising is slower paced than the other TJR books I’ve fallen in love with but the backstory and flashbacks are crucial to the development of the overall plot. An intense read for anyone with a complicated love for someone who has hurt them. TJR creates big themes of independence, agency, making your own closure, forgiving and when not to forgive, and how a destructive fire creates opportunity for renewal.
