This one was more fun than I expected it to be! I knew Ahdieh was originally a fantasy author (I think), and I'm not sure when she made the transition to contemporary fiction, but I'm glad she did! The characters were well developed, and I loved all the snark and witty dialogue. I enjoyed the overall story, and the way events unfolded. It is fun to get peeks into the lives of the wealthy, and I thought Ahdieh did a fabulous job of incorporating elements of that world without being overdone. The only drawback for me was the inclusion of the "author's chapters" (I listened on audio and maybe that impacted how I took them in) - they just pulled me out of the story, confused me, and didn't really add to the story for me. Overall, this was a win, and I can't wait to see what Ahdieh writes next!
