This was a good middle of the road read! I liked the discussion of wealth and privilege. I would have loved it if the author had *went there* and talked about white feminism. I was engaged when I was reading it, but once I put it down, I felt very meh. Overall, not mad at it.

A funny, conversational critique of rich white feminism. It's easy to tell what the characters are thinking and feeling most of the time, and the love interest was a little predictable, but otherwise it was intriguing and surprisingly emotional.
