Malibu Rising

Thank you Random House for the gifted copy of Malibu Rising.
Rather than write a review for a book pretty much everyone has already read or will read, I thought Iโd ask some questions and give you my spoiler free answers instead. Feel free to chime in with your answers in the comments! I did include a question of the day for those who havenโt read it yet.

I loved Kit! Watching her grow from a spunky girl to a strong woman not afraid to speak her mind kept me hooked on her POV in the story.

I really loved how real each of the siblings were. Each had their own faults, steady character development, and growth throughout the story. I actually felt like I was growing with their characters as I read.
I also really liked the dynamics between the siblings and how no matter what they were there for each other.

I usually go with the audio versions for TJRโs books, but this time I didnโt. Right now Iโm tempted to listen to the audio version just to hear the different characters. Plus I love the way her books come more to life through audio.

Fast at times and steady the rest of the time. At no point did I feel like this story was just โdraggingโ along.

When we moved to coastal Florida I immediately took up surfing. After cracking a few ribs I fell in love with it!๐๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Special thanks to my amazing friend and reading partner @mamas_top_shelf for staying up late multiple nights reading this one with me!
