I have read her historical fiction. Malibu Rising was a favorite. I thought Evelyn Hugo was a bit overrated.

I read Evelyn Hugo without knowing anything about it and having no expectations, and I think that was great because it's hard for works to live up to enormous hype.

I couldn't get into Malibu Rising for a while and then it really grabbed me. But I only really like Nina; the other Riva siblings are kind of meh to me. I think TJR thrives with first person perspective centering on one character.
