Thoughts:
This book was like a soap opera. While there was a lot I liked about this book, there were a few things that were tough for me as well. I found the chapters a little too short for my liking as it seemed just as soon as I got into the character, the chapter would change. That was my biggest drawback though and there was plenty to like! There were plenty of laugh out loud moments, I found the footnotes to be particularly hilarious. The drama in this book was superb and just so entertaining. There’s not necessarily a lot that happens in this book, but it is fun! There is some serious name dropping that happens throughout the book, but it wasn’t in an obnoxious way, it worked out and made perfect sense for the story.
I adore the cover of this book as well! It is just stunning, and I can’t wait for it to be made into a fancy special edition with some gold foiling. I can already picture it in my head, and I’ve spent the money lol.
