When I first started reading this book, it was not quite what I expected but by the end, I was fully invested!
Too insightful at times about the lives of the very rich.

Dangles the promise of being a spicy look at the Hamptons, WASP-y set, but the central conflict is ultimately shallow and unrealistically quickly resolved. So much product placement it feels like an influencer ad.
I appreciated the writing style—it reminded me of Frederik Backman, with each chapter offering a third-person look into a different character’s inner world. But the story and characters fell flat. They were unlikable, and not just because they came from old-money New York. The author’s attempt to humanize them through philanthropy felt forced and unrealistic.
