After a year where most people stayed home, it's a great time to escape to the beach, even if only through Reid's writing.August, 1983, it is the day of Nina Riva’s annual end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch.
Reid has documented on her social media that she dove into the surf culture and history of Malibu for the book with its laid back, easy living sun-soaked vibe. At the end of the night, the house literally goes up in flames. "Malibu Rising" takes you inside the Riva family for the final party at the property where relationships are formed, ended, rekindled and major life choices are made.
She has assumed the matriarch role to her three siblings, Jay, Hud and Kit, after the death of their mother.Įvery year, Nina throws an end-of-summer bash that is a who's who of Hollywood where anything can happen (and often does). The eldest is Nina, who has gone pro, and is also a famous model. Born and raised in the area, they're all water babies who love to surf. We meet the famed Riva siblings, the (neglected) children of crooner Mick Riva. In her new book, "Malibu Rising," Reid takes us to the beaches of Malibu in 1983. And in 2019's "Daisy Jones & The Six" she revisited the formation and abrupt breakup of a 1970s rock band, with its members, loved ones and friends sharing their version of events in first-person.
In 2018's "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo," she created an aging movie star, Evelyn Hugo, who after rising to fame during the days of the old studio system and famously married seven times wants to finally tell her story, mysteriously choosing an up-and-coming journalist to be the conduit. In 2015's "Maybe in Another Life," she wrote about two parallel universes, documenting the resulting path of a character's choice in alternating chapters.
