"You're either kind, or you're not. You're born with it, or you die without it."
If you're seriously considering reading The Social Climbers (and you should), I suggest straying away from most reviews. I read this title a few weeks before publishing, and I went into it without reading any reviews or other details โ I relied solely on the synopsis, and it paid off. But I know that a review might help you add this to your 2023 reading list.
Typically I'm not too fond of stories about the entitled 1%, but The Social Climber kept my attention, and although the main character had an unsettling personality, I strangely liked her. The author, Amanda Pellegrino, crafted this book so that I constantly found myself reading "just one more chapter" because I couldn't put it down.
Slow-burn stories aren't my typical cup of tea, but The Social Climber unfolded so carefully and intentionally that I never found myself bored. I was fascinated as I knew something about the story was not quite right...
The ending was full of so many "didn't see this coming" moments. And I loved it! It felt like the fog had lifted, and I was seeing everything clearly.
โ๐ผ Alternating timelines
๐ Unsettling but likable MC
๐ The whole book is a "one more chapter" vibe
๐ง Mysterious undertone
๐คฏ Those reveals
โ Anorexia, bulimia, compulsive Exercise, and fat shaming are very present in this book. It goes along with the story, but I think it was a tad over the top (why I knocked 1/2 star off).
I recommend reading The Social Climber if you're looking for a compulsive read that will leave you guessing.
