Haha, I don’t know - I liked it! Sometimes I need a not-that-deep book in between the other tearjerkers and great art (last couple ones: This Summer Will Be Different and Colton Gentry’s Third Act, respectively) and this was the perfect palate cleanser. Rich people behaving badly, a not-very-surprising murder mystery plot, no character development (all intentional!!). I think Emma Rosenblum’s writing is funny and perceptive and even a little sexy, and it’s fun for me to live in this awful world she builds (so different than my own for so extremely many reasons, haha) for a little bit. I liked Bad Summer People too and I’ll definitely read her in the future!
