Another day, another road trip audiobook... Full of easter eggs for the TJR universe, we follow Mick Riva's brood and the messy lives of LA celebrities. Everything converges at Nina Riva's annual party, for better or for worse. I enjoyed transitioning through time and PoVs between chapters, as it helped me get to know the characters better. The down side of this was that there were SO many character chapters - even just tertiary ones. But I loved seeing the Riva siblings grow up and grow closer over the years. Ultimately it'd be awesome to see Kit get her own book, but I doubt it'll happen. Great for fans of rich people behaving badly, 80's house party movies, and surfing.
