Listen, is it a literary masterpiece? No. But who cares? It’s wildly entertaining and fun. Think the drama of your favorite reality tv show or family drama and amp it up a few levels. Then add a backdrop of the best of everything that money can buy, people with more money than anyone should ever possess, and one girl next door who gets dragged along, and you’re in for a ride. Was this predictable? Yes. Did I have the best time ever saying “HA! I KNEW IT!”? Also yes. Kevin Kwan’s books are pure froth and fizz and fireworks, and I love them.
