This book was a bit disappointing. Previously I have read other books by Taylor Jenkins Reid and found that I have enjoyed the writing style and format of them. But I found Malibu Rising, particularly part one, very repetitive and monotonous. The ending almost makes up for the start and middle of this book but I can’t help but feeling let down at not liking this as much as I thought I would. Although, many of the characters are likeable I just had an issue with the writing.
