While the author states it’s not a “tell-all”, she leaves in enough blind item style tidbits to keep the gossip hounds engaged. The pacing towards the end through me off a bit but the overall story felt like a peek into a wild, glamorous and sometimes dark world of the rich and noteworthy. Enough to make all the Midwestern girls thoroughly jealous of a childhood in Manhattan. Kirke balanced being funny, heartfelt and relatable. However, at times I wished some of the characters were more developed like her parents. 

Great vacation or airplane read. 

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for a review.
