Taylor Jenkins Reid

Malibu Rising is the first novel in the Early Summer 2022 Book
Club. Author Taylor Jenkins Reid has written about the glamorous
Riva siblings, professional surfers and models who live an
enviable life in Malibu, but are all grappling with their own
fears and secrets that will spill out at their annual summer
party.


The novel is set in 1983, often flashing back through the
family’s history over the decades. Taylor joins Richard and Judy
to talk about how the nature of fame has changed recently, and
why we feel entitled to know about the lives of celebrities. She
also describes Malibu as she sees it today, yes as a dazzling
colony of superstars, but predominantly as a place of
unbelievable natural beauty.
