I was so close to dnfing bc the some of the side stories were so boring and dragged for way to long. I liked how it ended overall but I don’t think I would pick this series up again.

This book is more than just a satire of the lifestyles of extremely rich people.   While the money and flash are strictly for the very wealthy, the drama of a family vying to inherit from a dying matriarch could be any family grieving while concerned about their own worth.
