"It is Malibu's nature to burn."

Malibu, August 1983. Four siblings —Nina, Jay, Hud, and Kit—, descendents from Mick Riva, one of the most famous singers of USA, and one night. One party.

Nina is not in the mood for a party. Her husband has left her for his mistress.

Jay is looking forward to see the woman he likes in the party.

Hud is hiding a secret from his brother, a secret that could do great harm to their relationship.

Kit has invited someone unexpected.

What will happen when the unexpected person show up? Or when everything explodes our of their chests like fire?

By midnight, everything will be out control. 

By sunrise, the mansion will be in flames.

I was looking forward to read this book, and I knew I was gonna like it.

This book talks about many things and puts over the table many interesting topics and tropes.

I loved the way the author wrote every detail of every Riva sibling, and how wrote different points of view of different people at the party. 

Two things I admired most about the author in this book is her ability to write such beautiful, captivating and attractive characters and how she is capable of telling the story in a way so fascinating and gripping. 

I loved Nina's strength and how she carries everything in her back; how Hud is so sweet and how he loves with all his heart; Jay, his dreams and how he loves his family; and Kit, who is fresh air and dynamism, and loves her family

It was interesting to read how the author writes about alcoholism, heartbreak, love in all its shapes, motherhood, family, sexuality, illnesses, depression, in this book.

I highly recommend it, so what are you waiting for? Read it!

I leave the links here to buy the book: Amazon (English), Amazon (Spanish, por Umbriel Editores)

Until the next post! ♡
