πŸ”ΉThe story takes place on August 27, 1983, illuminating flashbacks of family courtships, weddings, births, and deaths scattered throughout. Four Malibu surfer siblings host a wild party that leads them to confront their pasts.

πŸ”ΉThe Riva’s didn’t have a simple childhood. Their father was a famous singer who was absent, and a true asshole I couldn’t relate to him at all, and their mother was an alcoholic, leaving all the responsibilities to Nina, their oldest.

πŸ”ΉI've seen a lot of reviews on this book but I don't know why no one mentioned that the Riva family (siblings to be exact ) is extremely wonderful to read about they have bonded strongly, their relationship is fascinating, heartwarming and so refreshing!

πŸ”ΉOne particular night will put all of their relationships to the test. Everything will blow out. Nothing can last forever, Down below, the tide will roll in, then roll out and Malibu will keep catching fire!

πŸ”ΉThe Riva’s will discover various secrets by the end of this book and we leave the party knowing that we don’t have to worry about them! But I genuinely love to read more about what the future has in store for each one of them, it can have a sequel in my opinion. 

πŸ”ΉOh and I almost forgot, the most amazing thing about this book is that Reid cross-references her two books: the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones & the Six ( without spoiling). it's always pleasant to see characters from literature still exist in the same world.
