Morningside Heights by Cheryl Mendelson

Did not finish book. Stopped at 3%.

I had to put this down after the author detailed how the family was constantly going deeper and deeper in debt and then described how the mother, Anne, "liked to set a good table, and chose delicacies with no thought of their price, of which she was generally ignorant. She would have been horrified at the idea of planning menus around the cost of foods; the choice of whether to serve bean paste or Beluga caviar had nothing to do with money, only with questions of taste, variety, and nutrition."

I'm sure it's part of some greater plot but that amount of financial mismanagement literally gave me anxiety.
