But as I said: sometimes simply reading about the lives of the ultra-wealthy is very fun!

But given that, I’m impressed with how the author made each character - even Georgiana, who is so spoiled and ignorant - a good arc. I read the book in one sitting and was horrified, compelled, and impressed by the misadventures of these rich people in a world I’ll thankfully never know.

Sasha
I loved seeing Sasha’s relationship with her sister in laws develop over the story and her
Georgiana
I think George was the person I related to the least in the book. Her growth over the course of the book was the most drastic. I’m proud of her for deciding her own path in the world.
Darley
Darley’s story was greatly helped by the Hatcher and Poppy moments haha. It was so interesting to see her recognize the internal and external racism and exclusionary relationships of her own family but not to be able to see that she was excluding her husband and her sister in law. It really struck me when she said she knew about NMF but never thought before about extending a hand to Sasha to help bridge their gap.
All in all this book proves that everyone should go to therapy to learn more open communication strategies.
