Picked it up on a whim, enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Didn't love the random POV switches- not against the idea, but felt it could have been employed a little more stylistically.
A quick, fun read. Good for vacation, and good for getting me out of my fiction slump.
Side bar: Really hard to relate to how wealthy everyone was hahaha. I live in Toronto, so reading about our Canadian heroes, I was like "Yeah. I don't run in the same circles as them." Imagine.... horse back riding lessons as a kid... that didn't affect my rating or experience, just kept popping up in my mind as I read.
Not a book that'll stay with me, but if someone asked if they should read it, I'd say it's worth a shot. A little superficial on its themes and messages, think there was a lot more depth to explore.
