We Could Be Beautiful by Swan Huntley
3.0
I was provided a free electronic copy of this title from Edelweiss and the publisher.
A+ escapism, the story of a wealthy trust fund New Yorker in her 40s, whose life of luxury is upended when she untangles a web of deception around her fiance and family. I loved the specificity of detailis about the main character's privileged lifestyle - her upscale artisan greeting card shop, her extravagant tipping - but unfortunately the book doesn't quite tip over into having her undergo the full consequences of her decades of inattention and being in a lot of ways an extremely horrible person. I liked her relationship with her best friend and her sister.
