This book was fantastic! Malibu Rising was beautifully written, a story about multigenerational characters. The Riva family story was about the importance of family and relationships mixed with the drama of a rich and lavish lifestyle. The story had a lot of emotion to it, and it was great reading from the whole families POV. It was also fun to read about the family in the different eras! I loved how TJR had a little connection with the characters to her other books, The Seven Husband's of Evelyn Hugo (I read) and Carrie Sotto (I now have to read). I think TJK is a fantastic storyteller and really knows how to get you to fall in love with her dynamic characters! This is a great book, I definitely recommend it!
