About:

Join us as we dive into Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid, a captivating story of family, love, secrets and the complicated relationships that shape who we are, all set against the sun-soaked backdrop of 1980s Malibu. 🌊☀️

We will be kindly hosted by Sophie at her home to discuss this novel together. Nibbles provided!

It's August 1983, and the four famous Riva siblings are preparing to throw their legendary end-of-summer party. Nina, a talented surfer and supermodel, is dealing with the breakdown of her marriage, while her younger siblings each have their own secrets and struggles. As the night unfolds, tensions rise, secrets spill and the party spirals out of control, changing their lives forever.

Emotional, addictive and filled with plenty of drama, Malibu Rising explores family loyalty, heartbreak, forgiveness and what it really means to find your own path. It's the perfect pick for readers who love complex family dynamics, unforgettable characters and a story that will have you hooked from the very first page! 📚✨

Come along for an evening of great conversation, shared perspectives and connecting with fellow book lovers. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the Riva siblings, your favourite moments, the secrets that surprised you most and whether you think family is defined by the people we're born with or the people who show up for us. 💛
