Nearly flawless book - the end was INCREDIBLE. Twists and turns all along the way. The only thing I didn't care for was the backtracking of time when a new narrator would pick up - made the book drag a little at times, but overall, this was just amazing.

I love a quick, juicy thriller! Good Rich People includes two points of view, Lyla and Demi. Lyla's husband is soooooo bored. To combat his boredom he loves to play a game where he destroys the lives of unsuspecting affluent individuals. After all, the wealthy aren't paying attention to anyone but themselves. In this round of the game, Lyla becomes the cat and Demi is the mouse. I really liked reading the same events through each woman's eyes, although this made the timeline disorienting at times. While I couldn't put this book down, the ending was weak AF. There weren't very many twists, but overall I enjoyed reading about rich people I loved to hate.

I almost DNF’d this book and honestly I kinda wish I had. I think this was supposed to be satire and commentary on wealth inequality but I don’t think the author has ever met a poor person or understands the struggles associated with poverty. Every character who was poor was either homeless or a drug addict or both and that’s not a cute look. And all the characters were very one dimensional and also they were all terrible people?? I don’t know, the entire book just rubbed me the wrong way. Also, it was very predictable. I guessed the ending like 2-3 chapters in. I say don’t waste your time.
