Malibu rising was surprisingly a wonderful book and I really enjoyed reading it! I wouldn’t have picked it up if it wasn’t for the hype but I’m glad I did.
I almost gave up when I started because it is written in a 3rd person narrative. At first I felt like I couldn’t get into the characters because of this but as the story went on I found myself attached to every single sibling and June (Mick and June’s story literally made my heart ache). I really loved the ending too, I definitely recommend!
Graphic: Alcoholism, Infidelity, and Toxic relationship
