Taylor Jenkins Reid writes some of the most captivating books. This is a really great, fun read but I don't think it holds compared to Daisy Jones and the Six and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Especially being set in the same universe I don't think Malibu Rising compares to these legends. I loved the references and I really enjoyed the story but this is not the one I'll reach for first if I am in the mood to read some of her work.
