I am thankful I read Blue Sisters first (which I loved) because I would have never picked up that book if this was my introduction to Coco Mellors.

Not only are the characters unlikable, they are cartoonishly bad - even New York is a caricature. Couple this with all the minor characters and subplots that come and go without reason, it feels like this was cut up and assembled from many different books.

fleurdelille's review against another edition

Hat ein bisschen gedauert, in den Erzählstil reinzukommen, aber das ist es wert. Eine Geschichte über newyorker high Society, eine dysfunktionale Ehe und haufenweise toxische zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen. Die Konversationen tun teilweise wirklich weh, aber ich bin begeistert, wie gut Personen und Szenen beschrieben werden können. Klare Empfehlung.
