Events culminate at the annual Riva party in Nina’s mansion, anyone who’s anyone is there and things get out of control… Showing the cracks in the surface which, as we know, is where the real drama happens. What Malibu Rising also did well was portray the other side of a glamourous lifestyle. From the glamour of model Nina with her tennis-star husband to gentle Hud, seemingly confident Jay and Kit who is finding her place in the world, they were all great to read about. I really enjoyed each siblings’ storyline. None of them have a close relationship with their father and we learn how this affects them all. Who is Nina? Well, she is the eldest of the Riva siblings (June marries rock-star Mick Riva and they have four children: Nina, Jay, Hud and Kit), the stars of this book. Told in two time frames – the present 1980s, when the book is set, and back to the 1960s when Nina’s parents meet.
