ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Time, Marie Claire, PopSugar, Parade, Teen Vogue, Self • “Irresistible . . . High drama at the beach, starring four sexy, surfing siblings and their deadbeat, famous-crooner dad.”— People Four famous siblings throw an epic party to celebrate the end of the summer. But over the course of twenty-four hours, the family drama that ensues will change their lives will change forever. Malibu: August 1983. It’s the day of Nina Riva’s annual end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. Everyone wants to be around the famous Rivas: Nina, the talented surfer and supermodel; brothers Jay and Hud, one a championship surfer, the other a renowned photographer; and their adored baby sister, Kit. Together the siblings are a source of fascination in Malibu and the world over—especially as the offspring of the legendary singer Mick Riva. The only person not looking forward to the party of the year is Nina herself, who never wanted to be the center of attention, and who has also just been very publicly abandoned by her pro tennis player husband. Oh, and maybe Hud—because it is long past time for him to confess something to the brother from whom he’s been inseparable since birth. Jay, on the other hand, is counting the minutes until nightfall, when the girl he can’t stop thinking about promised she’ll be there. And Kit has a couple secrets of her own—including a guest she invited without consulting anyone. By midnight the party will be completely out of control. By morning, the Riva mansion will have gone up in flames. But before that first spark in the early hours before dawn, the alcohol will flow, the music will play, and the loves and secrets that shaped this family’s generations will all come rising to the surface. Malibu Rising is a story about one unforgettable night in the life of a family: the night they each have to choose what they will keep from the people who made them . . . and what they will leave behind. This edition includes an interview with the author, book club discussion questions, and more! Review: Brilliant! - I really enjoyed this one. Taylor Jenkins Reid has such a way of pulling me straight into a story, and this was no exception. I loved the family dynamics, the complicated relationships and the way everything slowly built towards that one unforgettable night. It had glamour and drama, but also so much emotion underneath it all. I really liked how the story moved between past and present, showing how the choices of one generation can shape the next. A brilliant, immersive read with characters who felt messy, flawed and completely believable. Review: enjoyable summer read with personality - I liked this. I liked the spirit it's written in. I appreciate it can be a bit flat for long periods of time and the "WTF ending" (which I'll get to) threatened to derail what came before, but I'll stand up for myself against a lot of negativity surrounding this book and say I did rather enjoy it. There is a simplicity to it, but it has a sort of aura, and a sort of charisma which shuts itself away and excuses the shortfalls. Yes - none of the characters are particularly likable - just rich kids doing rich-kid-things. But it sets out to be that and never tries do deceive you with anything else. But the ending has to be addressed and (I think) criticized. I'll compare it to the end of the movie "Bugsy Malone" whereby long conflicts and challenges seem to be resolved in the final ten minutes as everyone goes "Actually, let's not fight." and that's the end of it. The fire at the end (which let's face it, everyone who'd read the synopsis was building up for) seemed a bit comical and without consequence. All the characters' stupidity came to the fore at the same time but my point would be - it's in a controlled way, the author never lets the characters run away with it themselves. That's the sign of a good book I think. It's a smart author describing dumb people - that's the way to see it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 374,843 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1 in Surfing, Windsurfing & Water Skiing 140 in Literary Fiction (Books) 233 in Psychological Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 83,908 Reviews | ## Images ![Malibu Rising: A Read with Jenna Pick: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91G7B0ZPYbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant! *by C***A on 13 May 2026* I really enjoyed this one.

It wasn't really a page turner for me nor did it have me hooked and because of this it's took me a few days to read. The book deals with some nitty gritty storylines that I'm sure a lot of readers will relate to. I myself found parts of it relatable. As stated above I enjoyed the first half. I enjoyed reading all about Mick and June in the past then how it would jump forward to the present time and how everything coincided but I think the second half just kind of let it down for me. The ending just felt a bit rushed for me personally. I do appreciate that we got closure for some of the characters but for the majority I felt the closure was lacking and I'm left wanting to know a bit more. Overall I feel the book just kind of dragged even though I enjoyed parts it. Basically I didn't love this book but nor did I hate it. I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend this particular book but it hasn't put me off reading more by this author. For example I really want to read 'The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo' and 'Daisy Jones And The Six.' Hopefully I enjoy those more than I enjoyed this one. ## Frequently Bought Together - Malibu Rising: A Read with Jenna Pick: A Novel - Carrie Soto Is Back: A Novel - Daisy Jones & The Six: Reese's Book Club: A Novel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/619187472-malibu-rising-a-read-with-jenna-pick-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/619187472-malibu-rising-a-read-with-jenna-pick-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-07-18*
