博客來 奢華的加州豪宅夏日派對，聚集全世界目光焦點
身為主辦人的四個兄弟姊妹，卻各自帶著秘密，不安地等待序幕拉開…
世界知名歌手Mick Riva的四名子女，自然也活在眾人的目光焦點下。每年8月，他們都會舉辦一場告別夏季的盛大派對，所有名流都爭先恐後地想拿到入場門票，地點就在加州豪宅區中，海濱旁的那棟豪宅裡。大姊Nina，知名的衝浪高手，也是超級名模；弟弟Jay和Hud，分別是衝浪冠軍和知名攝影師；小妹Kit集寵愛於一身，也正努力地朝著衝浪好手邁進。
宴會開始，整個大宅邸內散著濃厚的酒醇香，音樂流動，所有人都在醉生夢死的狀態。唯獨Nina一點也不期待今年的派對，先不說她個性本身就不太愛站在聚光燈下，今年跟她網球選手老公離婚的新聞沸沸揚揚，也是讓她提不起勁的原因之一。或許Hud也沒那麼期待吧，畢竟一個多年埋藏在他心中的秘密即將要公開。而Jay和Kit則都在殷殷切切地盼著自己邀請的嘉賓蒞臨⋯⋯然而他們都不知道的是，隨著派對氣氛越發狂熱，即將一發不可收拾，四人的命運也在明天太陽升起後，隨之巔覆…

From the New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo . . . Four famous siblings throw an epic party to celebrate the end of the summer. But over the course of twenty-four hours, their lives will change forever.
“One of the most anticipated [books] of the year—and rightfully so. . . . It’s a must-read.”—Parade
Malibu: August 1983. It’s the day of Nina Riva’s annual end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. Everyone wants to be around the famous Rivas: Nina, the talented surfer and supermodel; brothers Jay and Hud, one a championship surfer, the other a renowned photographer; and their adored baby sister, Kit. Together the siblings are a source of fascination in Malibu and the world over—especially as the offspring of the legendary singer Mick Riva.
The only person not looking forward to the party of the year is Nina herself, who never wanted to be the center of attention, and who has also just been very publicly abandoned by her pro tennis player husband. Oh, and maybe Hud—because it is long past time for him to confess something to the brother from whom he’s been inseparable since birth.
Jay, on the other hand, is counting the minutes until nightfall, when the girl he can’t stop thinking about promised she’ll be there.
And Kit has a couple secrets of her own—including a guest she invited without consulting anyone.
By midnight the party will be completely out of control. By morning, the Riva mansion will have gone up in flames. But before that first spark in the early hours before dawn, the alcohol will flow, the music will play, and the loves and secrets that shaped this family’s generations will all come rising to the surface.
Malibu Rising is a story about one unforgettable night in the life of a family: the night they each have to choose what they will keep from the people who made them . . . and what they will leave behind.
