Started this and really enjoyed it and then halfway through it seemed they were trying to throw in shocking items and they just lost their umph. no one was likable and I was dragging myself to finish.

Unclear what the book is trying to say about gentrification. The book’s understanding of divorce feels outdated by about 40 years and the characters, who are meant to be successful and ambitious women, are prone to self-victimization and not in an interesting way.

I wanted to like this book more than I did— some of the twists and family drama was fun, but overall I found it a little too scandalous to be believable.

But I did enjoy the character building! I was just never itching to keep going and was ready for it to be over by the end

Would love for it to be picked up by hbo, great love story of LA as much as it’s about family.
