Darley, Georgiana, and Sasha are not likable. To be fair they aren’t exactly unlikable but they are all brats. Darley and Georgiana treat Sasha like she is nothing but a joke and not like family despite Sasha being their sister-in-law. The Stockton family fixes everything with money and are unforgiving of anyone they view as less than them. Georgiana is a privileged princess who finally comes to her senses at the end but it’s after making dozens of mistakes and hurting lots of people. Darley isn’t so bad honestly but she treats Sasha poorly despite knowing her family treats her husband less than stellar. Sasha is not assertive enough and truthfully never should have married into the family but she does come into her own towards the end and it seems her husband grows a little bit of a spine. All in all it was an interesting insight into the lives of New York’s elite. It was a good summer read and I couldn’t put it down because I had to know how these people were going to either fuck up their lives of make them better.
