I didn't particularly love two out of three of the main point of view characters, but it's a testament to Jenny Jackson's writing that I still enjoyed their chapters and their stories.

Overall, a fun and easy read! Despite being about wealth and the 1%, it's not a super deep or sociological take on wealth/wealth disparity/privilege, but it was enjoyable.

I really enjoyed the book and the way it was written made it a very easy read. I will say this one thing regarding the perspective of the writer; she’s obviously rich, been rich, will stay rich, and while there’s nothing wrong with that…as a poor, I do not take her view on class very seriously and maybe next time stick to more fluff.

I thought it was spot on with the tongue in cheek poking fun at the 1%ers. The ending did feel a little too tidy for me though. 

Sara's BOOK OF THE MONTH pick and I got first dibs!

Fun and absorbing read. Picked it up for the Real Housewives vibe but stayed for the Sasha, Darley and George!

I really enjoyed this book. It was an easier read but interesting. I wished we had got a bit more detail about each of the girls but I understand that’s difficult to do so when writing about all 3 girls
