If you can ignore all the racism,  classism and prejudice it is a funny enough read!
A lot of the book was just a bunch of people sitting around and judging others…. And when I say a bunch, I mean a confusing amount of characters and names. To be fair, I don’t think it helped that I listened to the book, but still; so many characters and names.
I actually really liked the ending, and I applaud Rachel for being the badass she is.

It’s a funny book, but there are some parts where reactions are missing. A lighthearted book. Would recommend
