wasn’t sure what to expect with this one but man tjr really knows how to write a book. i knew what i was getting into with evelyn hugo and daisy jones since they’re all anyone can talk abt online but i think malibu rising deserve to be talked abt just as much especially bc i found it a lot more riveting than daisy jones. this feels like a hidden gem bc i have literally heard no one talking about this and i need that to change

there was so much drama going on throughout the entire book and i just kept eating it up, and i swear there was at least three plot twists, i love the relationship between everyone in the riva family they all felt very real and dynamic as their own characters despite being a part of such a large cast,, i truly loved it
