Ouch...the last book was sooo good. But Malibu Rising is just mediocre. I usually love a good dysfunctional family but everyone here is saintly or horrible and not fleshed out enough to care about. Mostly a tale of 4 siblings who were left on their own when their mom died to young, their famous dad abandoned them YEARS ago and they are too proud to force him to pony up. They manage on their own and are planning their annual blow out party and unexpectedly their dad shows up. Yes, this is about a thin a plot as you can imagine and you are hoping for more but 369 well read pages go by and you never really get more. Skip this one and listen to "Daisy Jones and the Six" instead.
