I feel like I could have enjoyed this book more had I been in a better mood. Having said that, I could objectively say that this was more or less a decent story with believable, albeit occasionally bad decision making characters, especially the heroine.
Though the environment and characters felt a bit outdated, harkening back to Lipstick Jungle, Cashmere Mafia, and Sex and the City days, It was still a largely enjoyable story that was more angsty than I expected. Which is actually a good thing for the story. Don't let the cutesy cover fool you. There was far more emotional character growth and exposure to serious topics like dealing with Alzheimer's and the realities of interacting with the 1 percenters.
I wouldn't mind finishing the rest of the series though perhaps not right away.
