DNF. You must be really into British Eton upper class to emphatize with their problems for the full 500 pages

Fascinating & revolting in equal measure. I disagreed with almost every opinion in this book but i feel very informed about how the other half live

A hard book to review

Honestly, it’s an enlightening read in some ways, but ultimately I found it pretty depressing. Sasha Swire comes from an extremely privileged background and lived an extremely privileged life as wife of Tory MP and friend of David Cameron Hugo Swire. This book is almost entirely blind to that. I can’t in all consciousness say it was bad but I also wouldn’t really recommend it. It made me sad.
