3.0

Note: you must read the epilogue and prologue in order to complete the story (then why not just make them part of the story?)

This story can best be summed up as: “Rich horrible people do horrible things to each other with next to no resolution on the plot.” Very fun to read (crazy to think that some people actually live like this), but a super disappointing ending.

Roller-stinking-coaster. I loved every petty filled moment. It was special to see a book that focused on the flaws of the characters, and somehow that made them MORE loveable - if possible.
