Welcome to Litsy!

The plot was fun but the writing was a bit of a struggle sometimes.

My first finished book for #14books14weeks

For a novel filled with exasperating characters, this was quite a fun read! While the characters are exasperating, they're also complex and darkly funny, with commentary about wealth---inherited and otherwise---race, antisemitism, and the challenges of being in a family. I love that there's no character in this novel that I can entirely love or entirely despise.

Rich people problems 101! If you liked Crazy Rich Asians you will love this one! Fun and easy read! 🍍 💰 💚 🎾 💍 🛥️

I appreciated the writing style—it reminded me of Frederik Backman, with each chapter offering a third-person look into a different character‘s inner world. But the story and characters fell flat. They were unlikable, and not just because they came from old-money New York. The author‘s attempt to humanize them through philanthropy felt forced and unrealistic. Book #59 in 2025

Not gonna lie, after reading very mixed reviews and seeing the length of both the entire book and each chapter, I almost bailed before I started.
But .. I'd adored Fleischman and dove in.
So worth it! No way I'd have seen all the plot, and such a brilliant tone of narration, slightly judging but also explaining.
Very impressive.

Happy Thursday!! Tux 🐾 approves my drink of the day! It‘s hurricane party from kajun loaded tea! Pineapple 🍍 🍉 and it matches my book!

Another over the top, wealthy wedding drama with happy ending.

Hoping to start this one this weekend!

Loved the premise of this book, but thought it could have been more. A pick, but a low pick.
