A review by dianesloftis
Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Did not finish book. Stopped at 52%.
So, this’ll go down in history as my first actual DNF— ugh! I am so aggravated that I just can’t even push through it. I do consider myself an avid reader. And yes, I have truly tried. However, this is an over-the-top plot read. It’s just loaded with unconnected characters and dramatic content that’s continuously downright sad— full of drawn out struggle after struggle. It occurred to me at some point that this story feels like a wanna be Fast & Furious. I just can Not do it. 😔 55% finished (according to my tablet) and 200 pages in.
Graphic: Alcoholism, Infidelity, and Death of parent
Moderate: Body shaming, Cursing, Drug use, and Sexual content
