Throughout this traumatic period though, the kids all love to surf, which winds up leading the siblings Nina ends up getting discovered while she is out surfing and becomes a famous model / surfer. It was the oldest sister, Nina, who ultimately held the family (and their family restaurant) together, dropping out of school to raise her three siblings and hold the business together. Their father Mick (a huge star) abandoned them as kids and their mother was an alcoholic who wound up dying young. And when I found out that she had a new book out, set in Malibu in the eighties, I knew it was going to be good. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was one of the best books I have ever read – or at least, one of my favorite books ever. I mean you know how much I love Taylor Jenkins Reid. This was my favorite book from the month, I think. OK I had been saving my ARC of this forever and then I forgot about it during the move.
