I didn't like the ending. There were so many characters in this story that I sometimes got confused as to who they were. This book was just ok.

I’m loving how TJR ties all of her books together, with references to Carrie Soto and even the same gossip rag Sub Rosa.

I really liked this book. It's strange because it was and the interwoven story was remarkable but it just wasn’t quite a five.

Family drama of the social elite, following the families life stories with their highest and lowest points. 
This book is about who we choose to love and who we don’t
