Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins ReidRead about the other entries on the list.
Bestselling author Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel revolves around an end-of-summer party in Malibu. The year is 1983, and everyone who is anyone among Southern California’s sun-kissed elites wants an invitation to the annual blowout at the cliffside home of the famous Riva family, whose members include a famous surfer, photographer, and supermodel. In a story deftly told through flashbacks and multiple viewpoints, Reid builds layer upon layer of suspense until the reader knows that when the fateful evening finally arrives, each key guest is on a collision course and the legendary party is destined to go up in flames.
Malibu Rising is among María Amparo Escandón's eight top books about living in Los Angeles.
