taylor jenkins reid is without a doubt one of my favorite fiction authors. she has such a striking ability to seamlessly piece together a realistic world and intertwine that world and it’s characters into all of her novels. she also has a wonderful talent for pacing her novels. i do believe malibu rising is her best (i have yet to read carrie soto though!), but this was a great read as well. i loved evelyn, as well as celia, harry, and john. but, i honestly did not care for monique. when looking at the bigger picture, i understand that monique was essential to the story, but i will not lie and say i was not bored when reading her chapters. i just could not find it in me to care much about her, even if that does sound harsh.
i was NOT expecting the insane plot twist with monique’s father. like OH MY GOD? with harry of all people! taylor you’re crazy for that one.
