I took up this book on a whim (I'm trying to be a bit more spontaneous with reading random books?) The description drew me in; I really wanted to like this book.
It's a shame I didn't. It had all the ingredients of a good book: an interesting plot, two interesting characters in Carrie and Mark, and a compelling narrative abour generational wealth and political inequality. I feel like it all got muddled in unnecessary detail and tangents; it felt like the story would pick up quickly, then fade for a bit, then pick up again, then fade again. By the end, I wasn't really surprised at what happened and I found it to be kinda boring. A solid try, but not a worthwhile read in my opinion.
