Very Nice by Marcy Dermansky

2.0

Very Nice is full of very not nice people, containing no characters worth rooting for (besides the dog). The story is essentially non-existent, just an exploration of each character’s selfishness. While this was likely the author’s intent, I didn’t necessarily find this bird’s eye view of terrible people with money to be all that interesting and found the ending straight-up absurd. The only redeeming quality of this book for me was the network of characters, all only having one or two degrees of separation, making it easy to follow with mostly unforced connections.
