This was alright. Most definitely didn't have the heart of "Daisy Jones & The Six" and the lasting impact of "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo." My favorite aspect of the book was when the party *finally* started, and there were a bunch of vignettes of the party-goers and the siblings. Overall, I just thought this book lacked the heart that has been in previous TJR books and didn't find that I cared for any of the siblings very much--I wasn't really rooting for anyone.
