Malibu Rising

Soapy, but with depth. What I like most about Taylor Jenkins Reid's writing is the way she manages to weave together all these characters without any of them feeling half-baked. Even the party scene where sub-characters have just a chapter or two dedicated to them feel involved while adding to the chaos of the party. Good use of 80s references without it feeling corny, I too would like to lose a bet to Jennifer Beals.
