Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid: Book review

"Letting people love you and care for you is part of how you love and care for them."

⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

"Malibu Rising" by Taylor Jenkins Reid is a book that I absolutely adored for one big reason – Reid's writing style is simply incredible. Her characters come to life in such a relatable way, making them feel like real people, especially Nina. You can't help but get emotionally invested in their stories as they navigate life's ups and downs in Malibu. 

However, I have to admit that there were so many side characters popping up that at times, it got a bit confusing. It became a challenge to keep track of who was who, and that distracted me a bit from the main story. 

But even with that small hiccup, "Malibu Rising" is still a must-read for anyone who loves character-driven narratives. Taylor Jenkins Reid's storytelling talent shines through, making it a book that's hard to put down.

As a reader, I'm much more likely to believe in the benefits of journalling if I can see that many successful people have done it. And while it may not be the sole reason for their success, it's a common factor that all of them had, therefore it must've helped.  I've been wanting to get into journalling as I think it's a great habit to have, and this article has motivated me to begin! Here are some starting points on what you should write about in your journal, for anyone else interested in starting. What happened today? (Daily journal) What am I grateful for today?
