1.0

I don’t know if this is just not my genre or I completely missed the point of this book, but honestly I was bored. 90% of this book seems to be them planning a party which you know ends up on fire. Then they have the party and it ends up on fire. So if you want to read a book about people planning a party whilst men be cheating dirtbags, this is the book for you… I guess? For me, not so much. I think this could have easily been an episode of 90210.

Read this for a book club, so bare in mind I wouldn’t have picked this book for myself ordinarily and as such my rating was bound to be low.
