I wish this book was about 100 pages longer. I loved the characters—even when they did unlikable things, I could still appreciate them. 

This book felt like if Loot (the Apple TV show) and The Dutch House had a lighthearted baby.

The book was largely character-driven with little plot outside of their interpersonal drama.  Luckily, all the characters had strong, distinct personalities and their inability (or refusal) to see each others' points of view felt realistic rather than frustrating.  

It was hard to care much about some of the rich people problems and drama that seemed to matter to the characters, but it became a little easier to read as more of their complexities were developed.  

Overall, it was a fine, generally lighthearted read about family and wealth with little in the way of plot.
