This is my first 5 star read of the year. The book moved very quickly from the beginning. Although there were a couple of times I tried to figure out while I was still reading, the twists at the end were so worth it. The feelings I have for this book are very controversial. This is definitely a book I’ll be thinking about for awhile.

When everyone was talking about this book, I never expected it to be THIS. I was captivated from page one and followed this marvelous character throughout her long and complicated life.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. A great beach/poolside read in the summer and a pretty fast read, too. 

Had a lot of tropes packed in it, but most if not all were done really well!

Even made me tear up at a few points. Had enough plot twists to keep it interesting.

Taught me to grab life by the balls.

taylor jenkins reid is without a doubt one of my favorite fiction authors. she has such a striking ability to seamlessly piece together a realistic world and intertwine that world and it’s characters into all of her novels. she also has a wonderful talent for pacing her novels.  i do believe malibu rising is her best (i have yet to read carrie soto though!), but this was a great read as well. i loved evelyn, as well as celia, harry, and john. but, i honestly did not care for monique. when looking at the bigger picture, i understand that monique was essential to the story, but i will not lie and say i was not bored when reading her chapters. i just could not find it in me to care much about her, even if that does sound harsh.

Spoiler

i was NOT expecting the insane plot twist with monique’s father. like OH MY GOD? with harry of all people! taylor you’re crazy for that one.
