Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid

3.75

TJR books always find a way to surprise me. It’s been a while since I have read a book but I enjoy all of them. This one is better read after a couple of different ones because you can gather information on this world. That way you aren’t thrown into a clustering world of having to get to know certain people that have had small introductions and even interactions in other books. I will say the downfall of this book was that there was way too much happening. There were so many different people that actually had nothing to do with the main characters and were only included because of the party aspect of the book. Take that out and focus on the Silva siblings like it’s suppose to it would be really good. It tackled some good topics and having that dual part of the timeline really helped me see every aspect and build to the story. While I was frustrated so much by it I predict that to be a good thing while experiencing the book overall.
