Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid
4.0

This was very enjoyable to listen to. While it's not quite the tour de force that "seven husbands" was, I found myself continuously curious about what happened next. I'm a sucker for a good family saga, even if it only details two generations. I loved the way it was framed here, with alternating chapters of past and present eventually fusing into one night full of context and intensity.

If you enjoy explorations of relationships (especially sibling relationships), poverty and wealth, and a backdrop of late the 20tg century, I recommend this as a beach read.
