I see that Taylor Jenkins Reid loves to connect all her books. And I'm not mad about it because I'm kind of obsessed with the world she's created.

Really enjoyed this one even if the mention of a bunch of new names every chapter threw me off - I'm a simple gal, it takes me so long to get into a new book with loads of characters lol

Still, this one had me hooked and I couldn't put it down

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
