About this book

Malibu Rising When the famous Riva siblings throw their legendary end-of-summer party in 1983, it's supposed to be a glamorous celebration—but the night becomes a turning point none of them expected. Nina, the supermodel surfer, is already reeling from a very public heartbreak; Jay is nervous about a girl he's desperate to see; Hud is carrying a secret that could shift everything between him and his twin; and Kit has invited someone who might just light the whole evening on fire (literally!). Over the course of twenty-four hours, all the love, ambition, and unspoken truths that have defined this family finally bubble to the surface. It's a gorgeous, emotional exploration of what it means to choose yourself—and what you're willing to sacrifice for the people you love most.
