I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I connected to the characters and thought this was humourous yet more deep than what meets the eye.

I question the feeling of necessity and effort expended by the author to put this into the world at all. Were the people who heaped praise upon this dreck done under blackmail or duress? This was vapid, false, and boring. Watching a catcus grow spines would offer more stimulation.

This started off good but got bad towards the end. In my opinion, it was rushed and had random character development (specifically from the father, Chip) seemingly out of nowhere. His random “woke” statements about wealth made no sense when he spent half the book protecting his money.
