A review by sarahyu
Malibu Rising, by Taylor Jenkins Reid

2.0

I feel like none of the characters had any real development even though that's what the entire book was just character arcs. Everything was so predictable: brothers fighting over a girl, an absent dad (who they kinda forgive at the end??), a pushover realizing she shouldn't be a pushover. I also didn't feel like the atmosphere was there; I wasn't a fan of two pages of one setting and perspective and the jumping to a different place with all new characters. Overall, I wasn't a fan but I still have hope for other Taylor Jenkins Reid books.
