You know what I love the most about Taylor Jenkins Reid? She always gets the job done! I fell in love with her when I read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, went through her back list and I have been a loyal fan ever since.

Malibu Rising is a "stay up all night" kinda book. I love the way the plot twists were unravelled. There's a lot but it doesn't feel overdone or too much. It's just right and it makes you never want to stop reading because you have to find out how it's all resolved. I really really enjoyed this book and can't wait for everyone to read it!
emotional inspiring medium-paced
