‘Malibu Rising’
By Taylor Jenkins Reid
Malibu: August 1983. It’s the day of Nina Riva’s annual end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. The only person not looking forward to the party of the year is Nina herself, who never wanted to be the center of attention. By midnight the party will be completely out of control. 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. Ballantine Books

What follows is a game of cat and mouse played out on night-shrouded roads and in neon-lit parking lots, during an age when the only call for help can be made on a pay phone and in a place where there’s nowhere to run. Dutton
