Year 4, week 52: Malibu Rising

This week's book:
Malibu Rising
By Taylor Jenkins Reid

This week's book is by an author I have read before. I didn't even know she had come out with a new book until it showed up on my Book of the Month options. Both Daisy Jones and the Six and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (the other two books I have read by the author) have to do with Hollywood and the music industry, and this book is no different. 

The book is about four siblings and a crazy party one night in the early 1980's. The four siblings are the main characters, but you also get little vignettes from other people attending the party. It would make a fun movie, and once you pick it up, it's hard to put down. The only reason it took me a little longer was because our baby girl is refusing to sleep and I haven't been able to ride the stationary bike, where I get a lot of my actual reading done instead of just listening to audiobooks. 

I will say that there are a few hard moments in the book with the siblings' alcoholic mother and their self centered singer father, but I would definitely recommend this book.
