Book Summary: Malibu Rising

A Legendary Celebration: The Riva Siblings’ Last Summer Bash
In the sun-drenched coastal town of Malibu, California, the air buzzes with excitement on a fateful day in August 1983. The annual end-of-summer soirée hosted by the illustrious Nina Riva is set to unfold, promising a night filled with glamour and intrigue. The Riva family, famous not only for their remarkable talents but also as the offspring of the iconic singer Mick Riva, has captivated the attention of many—Nina, a celebrated surfer and supermodel; her brothers Jay and Hud, elite figures in the surfing and photography worlds; and their beloved youngest sister, Kit.
However, amid the anticipation, Nina grapples with her reluctance to be in the spotlight, particularly after her recent public separation from her professional tennis player husband. Her brother Hud also harbors a heavy secret he feels compelled to share, adding to the tension as the night approaches.
Meanwhile, Jay is eagerly counting down the hours until he reunites with a special someone, while Kit harbors her own clandestine plans, having invited a mysterious guest without the knowledge of her siblings.
As midnight approaches, the party spirals into chaos, culminating in a catastrophic fire that engulfs the Riva mansion by dawn. Before the flames ignite, however, the evening is filled with flowing drinks, pulsating music, and the emergence of buried emotions and secrets within the family.
Malibu Rising tells the poignant tale of one unforgettable night that challenges each sibling to confront their past and make critical decisions about what they choose to carry forward—and what they must ultimately release.
