[A] touching testament to their lifetime's work, a delightful bedtime story for the Smash Hits generation.

Really Saying Something is not the most explicit rock memoir ever, but it may be the happiest. Written in alternate passages over the lockdown, it reassures fans that their idols were having as much fun as they looked like they were in their big hair, floppy dungarees and not quite matching stripy T-shirts on Top of the Pops.

It's that friendship between Dallin and Woodward that lies at the heart of this engaging, entertaining memoir that recounts career highs and lows, motherhood, break-ups and the menopause....It's all brilliantly recounted.

[P]romises to be one of the most entertaining celebrity memoirs of the year

A blast.

[I] really enjoyed it. The thing that really shines through is the friendship. It's an extraordinary shared life.

Bananarama's captivating new memoir is named after their second hit single, Really Saying Something, but the group's incredible story is better encapsulated by their first: It Ain't What You Do (It's the Way That You Do It).

Written with humour and authenticity, and filled with never-before-seen photos, this book tells the story of one of the most successful all-female groups ever.

[I]t's a wonderful, pantomime-like story of self-invention and continuous reinvention.

Dallin and Woodward's friendship is life-affirming.

Perfect pure escapism.

A beautifully touching and thought provoking novel interspersed with Jenkins Reid's trademark wit and humour.

Malibu Rising is as much an impressionistic whirl of neon sunsets, acid-wash denim and high-cut bikinis as it is a grand set piece about a glamorous party ... Jenkins Reid has an easy, breezy style that serves melodrama on a daring scale . . . Never has so much sex, tragedy, celebrity and tanned skin been crammed into one thinking person's beach read. It's 365 pages of pure exhilaration.

Perfect for whatever holiday you hopefully get to take this summer.

A riveting, propulsive bookwith characters that stayed with me, not because they are complicated but because they are so vivid ... Full of warmth and tenderness ... Deliciously escapist, conjuring the sun and the sand.

A gorgeous, sun-soaked novel that delves into the glamour and desperate hope of 1980s Malibu.

Fast-paced and addictive, Reid's vivid world-building provides the ultimate in summer escapism. With touches of 1980s glamour and scandal, Malibu Rising is another thrilling read from a talented writer, sure to delight old fans, as well as winning her new ones.

Perfectly evoking the sun-drenched and debauched backdrop that made Daisy Jones and The Six so immersive ... Addictive and fun, it's an essential addition to your summer reading list.

Hot off the success of the immensely enjoyable 1970s band story Daisy Jones & The Six comes Taylor Jenkins Reid's latest, a superfun foray into the 1980s ... Delicious.

Simmering with sexual tension, this hugely enjoyable ensemble narrative turns on a raucous party.

Malibu Rising is finely crafted commercial fiction, escapism in high definition, a quintessential beach read... If Nina Riva's party is the hottest ticket of the summer, then Malibu Rising is a front-row seat at the main event.

A gorgeous, sun-soaked novel that delves into the glamour and desperate hope of 1980s Malibu, and the saga of a family that will never be the same again.

The perfect summer novel, a vibrant story filled with sun, surfing, and flawed but lovable characters.

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.

This glamourous, compulsive novel is best enjoyed from your sun lounger with a cocktail in hand.

A deliciously decadent tale of sex, tragedy, celebrity, surfboards and tanned skin in 1980s Malibu.

I absolutely loved her book.... It's an absolute blast to read

JACKIE COLLINS, BUT BETTER Sacrilege to say "better", I know, but there we are. Set in the 1980s, Taylor Jenkins Reid's Malibu Rising is wonderfully written, intensely evocative and concerns the model/ surfer children of a rock star. Tons of glamour, tons of sharply observed insights about sibling relationships, plus a massive party. Beach read par excellence. See also her brilliant Daisy Jones & the Six, which is heaven (more rock stars).

When we picked up Malibu Rising, the new novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, we could barely put it down

You'll never want this book to end, it will suck you in and spit you out!
