Thanks to NetGalley and Vintage for an ARC of this title.

There's some great observational moments and satire throughout this, but as it kept going on, I kept waiting for the actual plot to kick in, and it never really did. This picks up in the second half once a major plot point starts connecting some dots, but by then I was kind of checked out.
