3.5
At first this book reminded me a lot of Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's <i> The Nest </i> in that it was about a group of tightly-knit, rich siblings that weren't particularly nice people. However, Jackson did end up with a deeper book than that, with fleshed out characters who wound up having redeeming qualities. The first half was frustrating to read at points, but the second half was much better and made the both worth reading.
