5.0

I really enjoyed this book - it's a light, beachy read but still manages to be thought provoking. I thought the characters were all very 3 dimensional and didn't come off as charicatures of the ultra wealthy - that can be fun but often predictable. I could see how some folks could see it as trite virtue signaling but I did appreciate that it openly examined privilege & class without making everyone into a clown, which I think is lazy characterization. The characters, in particular the three maim women (Georgiana, Darley, and Sasha) are all deeply flawed and frequently frustrating but I was still rooting for them in the end.
