4.0

if i could rate the first part of this book i would give it 5 star. the family turmoil and tumultuous relationship were interesting and hard hitting, but once the party actually started happening it started feeling very disjointed. the omnisient perspective was clunky and the interjection of the pov of random celebrities really messed with the pacing for me. 

edit plus one star rating** the ending really put a bad taste in my mouth obviously. though the more i think about this book the more i enjoy it.
