Review of Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid
"Our parents live inside of us, whether they stick around or not." p130
Ok, can this woman even write a bad book? Like I'm convinced that even her shopping list is freaking amazing! Yes TJR has written yet another home run novel! I'm just impressed every time because I'll read the plots and think eh maybe this one won't be for me and again I'm proven completely wrong! Malibu Rising is a phenomenal book about family, trauma, siblings, and love. It's so much in one novel that you'll be craving more when you're done with it. TJR really has a way to pull you into her novels and makes you feel like you truly know every single one of her characters and it's truly a work of art.
Stand out quotes:
"Maybe our parents' lives are imprinted within us, maybe the only fate there is is the temptation of reliving their mistakes. Maybe, try as we might, we will never be able to outrun the blood that runs through our veins.
or.
Maybe we are free the moment we're born. Maybe everything we've ever done is by our own hands." p 191
- Which was your favorite Riva?
- Did Mick truly love June? His children?
- On page 130, Hud, says our parents live inside us, do you agree with this?
- On page 340, Nina talks about parenthood, do you think she regrets or feels any burden about her siblings?
Please read all of TJR books I promise you won't regret it!
Thanks for stopping by,
