Malibu Rising

🏄 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖🏄

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 I’d 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 haven’t 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.

🏄‍♂️𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬?

Lord the party was crazy! You’re just going to have to read the story to find out what goes down!😜

I usually go with the audio versions for TJR’s books, but this time I didn’t. Right now I’m 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.

☀️𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤?

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

🌊𝐃𝐨 𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤?

Hell yes I do!

💬𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐠?

When we moved to coastal Florida I immediately took up surfing. After cracking a few ribs I fell in love with it!😂🤦‍♀️

Special thanks to my amazing friend and reading partner @mamas_top_shelf for staying up late multiple nights reading this one with me!
