I read this book for my sociology class, and I'm very glad I did because I likely would never have discovered it otherwise. It is a very interesting commentary on wealth and class while also being very interesting to read and having compelling (although not always loveable) characters. I really like how it explored the concept of family relationships and generational divides. I'm definitely excited to analyze it using a more sociological bent. I really enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it to anyone who likes stories about rich-people shenanigans or dysfunctional families.
