i’m so conflicted on this one. bc i luvvvv a book with no plot and no likable characters but this tried too hard to be something it wasn’t. i don’t know if this was supposed to be some kind of inspirational commentary ab how some billionaires are good and can change.
it spent the first 80% of the book highlighting their grotesque wealth and the horrible personalities of truly rich people and then tried to take a character who knowingly slept with a married man, make her meet a child of a lockheed martin knockoff and tell me they’re going to be good people now? the last scene at the dinner table was so laughable like she brings up the lack of knowledge of the female body in MENA countries at a FAMILY DINNER and is like no guys seriously we need to talk about this stuff and then the mother asks her son’s wife what it was like being poor. and i know that part was satirical but the rest of it came off really earnest which just kind of rubbed me the wrong way

In one word, this book is absorbing. And that's what I want from a book, to be absorbed, to escape life, by reading about someone else's. I like that it made me think about family relationships and our society.
I particularly liked the ending, and even though I didn’t wan the book to finish I enjoyed the direction the story took. I would recommend this, especially if you're looking for something to get you out of a reading rut.

Easy Sunday in bed read
Maybe as a NYer I found it relatable to the family dynamics when wealth involved. Kept to a timeline that made sense- giving characters depth enough to peel back and see development at the end… minus the WASPy parents.

Very disappointed. Not sure what I expected or why I put it on my Libby list. It just didn’t go anywhere and the characters were bland and predictable.
Very glad I didn’t pay for this book.
