Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid
3.5
emotional reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A good page turner, the writing was good and I was kept intrigued by the plot lines. However, I just wanted a bit more. The synopsis promises a wild night with secrets being revealed and while this is the case I was a little let down that as the reader we are in on the secrets from the start, and so nothing is truly surprising and there was no wow factor for me when the night starts to come to its climax.
I think I'll try one of TJRs other books but this one didn't really live up to the hype.
