A review by kerasalwaysreading
The Sunset Crowd by Karin Tanabe
3.0
I think I am one of the few who doesn’t hate nepo babies and still thinks that even with their privilege, they can provide worth to society. We are all just humans here on this floating rock after all… with that said, I wanted to love this. I think that part of me did, too. I liked the writing. I enjoyed the strong character building and the hazy 70s LA atmosphere.
This book follows Bea, a well known photographer, and her group of friends, the young and beautiful people in Hollywood. Running in the crowd of actors, writers, directors, musicians, and more, this book is filled with eye catching drama.
Unfortunately, I cannot say that I particularly liked any characters, considering they were all so BLIND!!!! It infuriated me to no end. From the first scene where the character who truly shakes everything up, I knew they were bad freaking news and through the entirety of the book, nobody seemed to catch on, not enough to do anything about it anyway.
You would think that in a world of spotlight, people would be much more wary of sharing it with others, but no… they all allowed this one person to waltz in and take everything from them.
So, while I could see so much good in this book, I read it with a rage that kept me turning pages just to laugh at these characters.
