A lot of people and places in Brooklyn Heights caught a lot of strays with this book.
This book is well-written. It moves really fast. There were some funny moments. The plot and character development were quite flat despite having a good base to work with.
I think the author was trying to humanize the wealthy one percent, which is a very hard sell in the political climate. It felt like the author was educating her readers more than painting a picture of life as a one-percenter in Brooklyn Heights.
Interesting enough for a quick read.
I am very intrigued by why some establishments were named and others were not, but it's neither here nor there to me.
