Fantastic, honest review Anne 💕 hopefully your next ones far better
@Bec! Thanks 😊 I don’t seem to do well with book club books lol
Aww come on the skewering sometimes is the fun part when warranted 😂Sorry it didn’t work! Your Next book has to be better is the silver lining🤞
@Dutchie lol! The skewering will be found some place else for me. I wanted to stab them all 😂😂
Sasha is married to “Cord” (what’s with these names?) and she can’t seem to grasp the concept of filthy rich 🤑 😂😂 dresses like the staff? Her husband doesn’t tell her to wear a dress? I can’t. People just aren’t THAT STUPID.
(Or are they?? LOL)
There you go. LOL! They sure are. I just got back from Disney and I can attest to that first hand on not the smartness
Hahahahahahahahahahaha I know you’re right … but this chick has an MBA & didn’t know the United Arab Emirates is a country?
Did the author think it was clever to add stupidity as an attribute ? 😂
She really needs to stick to being an editor.
Good for you! Who needs more stupid? 🙄
I hope you love your next!
Sorry this one was a suck fest for you Anne 💖 great honest review though
@PINK 😂🤣😂🤣😂 I took the ephemera to the maisonette 😂 and dropped it in the dumpster
Hahaha. I let Jason pick my current read. It was between this and a thriller. He researched and read the synopsis of both. He picked the thriller and said “ you will not like PS it sounds dumb and not interesting”. It’s now in the TBR pile.
Lmao !!!!!!! He is so right. It’s completely VAPID and ridiculous with unlikable characters. @kat
I really really wanted to like this one with all the hype it’s getting. I needed something light-hearted after “On the Savage Side” destroyed me and “Daisy Jones…” made me cringe. This one challenged me to speed-read so I guess there’s that.
@Kim I have the savage side and haven’t read it yet. I hope you improved your speed reading skills. This story was awful.
Be prepared to be emotionally wrecked by “On the Savage Side”. It’s gritty and raw.
@Elyse I enjoyed the Crazy Rich Asians movie. Usually I prefer the book, but sometimes the movie shines. All those series are in my list to be watched, but I’m usually reading. Shrinking looks so good!
I didn’t care about the two-dimensional characters or their insights into how white and insular their 1% world is. Yawn. Do not understand the hype. I loved Crazy Rich Asians because the characters had depth and the conflicts were intriguing.
@Alice you nailed it! I believe this hype is purely because the author is a well known VP editor at Knopf.
I may just have to stop reading booklists at this point. So much hype and all falling flat
@Whitney if you continue just expect it to be mindless like a bad beach read. Or move onto a book you really want to read
I'll save it then. I just DNF I Have Some Questions for You (what a mess). And despised the new cannabis cafe series because lord knows we can't make an elder millenial anything other than a vapid clueless woman.
@Whitney that’s the very word I’ve described too many female characters in the last year! VAPID! We went from alcoholic female MC to vapid ones.
Where’s the BADASSERY??
Glad I read your review. Too many truly good, well-written books to spend time on “yawn.”
I am so okay with not liking what other people like, but I knew something was off after finishing this book so I googled the author and she’s literally who this book is about. Which makes it even worse. It’s so tone-deaf. Not only is her husband part of the 1% but she lives in a 4.2 million dollar home in Brooklyn heights. Im just waiting for booktok or someone besides good morning America to get ahold of this one and for there to be more honest reviews
What a useless, unpleasant review. Maybe next time just DNF and stop? You bore me.

what a mean-spirited and unnecessary comment.
Rebecca, agreed. Sadly, trolls will be trolls.
I’ve had this on and off my TBR … back off— too many other great books to read!!
@Heidi if you ever go to read it, treat it as a complete beach read, about nothing and very forgettable !
There’s way too many books out there that should be read over this one.
thank you for saving me the time! it’s off hold for me! 🤷🏼♀️
@JessieFay you’re welcome! There’s too many good books waiting to be read
I listened to the audiobook on a faster speed. I’m glad I did so I got thru it quickly. Not going to remember this one fondly.
@Lea someone said the voices were like nails on a chalkboard too. Hope your next book is a winner !

I recently had this Millie-troll write almost exactly the same comment on one of my reviews. Talk about boring!
@Robin how boring !! 🤣🤣
Sorry you were trolled but it is nice to meet you!
I am in complete agreement with you. This book was awful. I have a rule that I finish each book I start because you never know and I wish I could get the time back in my life. No plot. Elitist socialites with ignorant views and no real problems but so much to complain about. Sasha was the only like able character and she just caved. No real redemption
@Jessica it was awful. I recently read that Jackson wrote this book in a day and a half. It shows!!
I stopped finishing books that don’t grab me a couple of years ago. I hate wasting good reading time!
