I think this book was a lot of fun but at times it could be a little difficult to remember the side characters. I enjoyed a lot of the subplots though.

  I found myself wanting better for Carrie Soto at the end.

I liked how this book was a slightly different take on the fame/celebrity angle and explored what it might be like to be a kid of one of the most famous people in the world. I also enjoyed the nods to other stories. Overall it’s a fun beachy read with family drama and a lot of heart. But if you don’t like multiple perspectives or confrontations/drama I don’t recommend
