A really strange moment happened in this book and in light of very recent events, I feel a particular way about it. At one point Elle makes an instagram post about the absurdity of rich people and includes a quote with the hashtag #eattherich. As a reader, I applauded it and agreed wholeheartedly! However Lucy was uncomfortable with it and immediately asked Elle to take the post down, which I couldn't help but laugh at. If it's one thing I hate is a bitch who sympathizes with the rich! I don't really care how friendly these particular rich friends of Lucy are, it's obvious Elle shares a sentiment similar to the working class and I think it's really distasteful to demand retraction simply because it makes you uncomfortable. I know that authors sometimes include themes that they may not necessarily agree with for the sake of entertainment but I can't conclusively say whether or not this author somehow thinks rich people, so long as they're friendly and come from "humble beginnings", don't deserve backlash for hoarding wealth. Regardless, that scene left a bad taste in my mouth and unfortunately soiled the overall reading experience. Not that the book was a literary masterpiece outside of that scene by any means, so it's really no loss to begin with. Can't say I'd be eager to reach for another book from this author and I definitely wouldn't recommend this short-story to anyone either.
