I found this fun at times but ultimately an odd tale of a wealthy family that honestly has few likable characters. 

Entertaining…

This novel stands out because of its fascinating characters and the remarkable writing of the author. The writing is well-structured, enthralling and concluded as a fast read for me.

The storyline focuses on the journey of three female members of a substantially affluent family and examines the role of money in their lives and the choices they make. When I encountered the concept, it held me captivated. I was eager to explore the different points of view and experiences of immense wealth in a real and favourable way.

This writing is truly remarkable and the characters are full of life, creating an effortless and captivating read.

I will not be hesitating to read future works by this author!

Slow start but picked up at the halfway point. Ended up enjoying it!

Don't get me wrong, I love character driven books and annoying mc's, but the problem with this book was the lack of emotional ties. There never was any moment that really had me invested in the story, and truthfully, I probably would have DNF'd if I wasnt listening to it as an audiobook. (Even though I had to listen at 2x speed).
