Review 

This is a dual timeline story, telling the story of the four Riva children living in Malibu in 1983 as young adults and, going back in time. The story of how their parents fell in love in the late 1950s and how their family became who they are today. 

The book was good I just couldn’t get into it at some points it too me longer to finish the book than I would have liked. I feel like it did not live up to the hype that it gets and I’m disappointed by that. 

Sometimes I felt there were too many characters it was hard to keep track. I did like how it showed from different time periods though. 

I started to like book around 80 percent in which was a little annoying because it took so long to get do that. I’m glad Nina finally got her happy ending though.
