Malibu surf and cannabis cultures collide in a novel thatโs โpart comedy of manners, part cautionary taleโ from the bestselling author of Chemical Pinkโ (Los Angeles Times). ย Katie Arnoldiโs critically acclaimed debut novel Chemical Pink launched her onto the bestseller lists and so established itself into the publicโs consciousness that its title was the answer to a Double Jeopardy question. Her sophomore effort, The Wentworths, was searing portrait of a wealthy Westside, Los Angeles, family. This too was a fixture on bestseller lists and earned her a wider audience. ย With Point Dume, Arnoldi has produced her most remarkable novel to date. Behind the idyllic faรงade of Malibu, tensions simmer between the old-school residents and surfers, Mexican drug cartels, and the nouveau riche who live in blissful ignorance of the consequences of their actions. In the span of one year, their lives will intertwine with devastating consequences. A fast-moving page-turner, with insights that Arnoldi has gleaned from years of on-the-ground research, this is a timely novel that seems timeless. ย โThe novel is fast paced with excellent characters and intersecting plots. Itโs also a must read if youโre interested in surfing culture and would like another reason on why pot should be legalized in the USA.โ โSan Francisco Chronicle ย โ[A] ripped-from-the-headlines dramaย .ย .ย . The prose style is spare and powerful and the pages turn effortlessly.โ โPublishers Weekly ย โThe summer is fully and officially upon us and that means summer reading is here! In fiction, our local Point Dume still tops the listโa great read for beach or travel.โ โThe Malibu Times
