The most shallow book I've read in awhile - I almost didn't finish it but plugged through thinking it might get better. But there were no real learning or transformative moments for the main characters. This is for people whose only goal in life is to not only wear Prada but own it - no rent the runway shit that plebes wear.

Boring. Impressed myself by actually finishing, but I only finished because I needed to read it for my book club.
