Mini Audiobook Review: Thank you so much to PRH Audio for the complimentary copy of this!
Americans seem to forget their racism when their stomach we’re calling or their homes needed furnishing.
This was initially on my radar when it first came out due to the premise of the book but what pushed me to read it was to complete a prompt for a book challenge. And wheww I do think I was somewhat a target audience due to my chronic onlineness, love for the Kardashians, history of watching reality tv.
I do not think this book is for everyone. But I'm not entirely sure that it deserves the as low of ratings that it is getting. It was slightly chaotic and there was a harmful section centered around eating disorder which I did not feel was necessary. This also takes place during the early months of Covid.
The sisters were fascinating and meant to be unlikeable. Though I will say Mina was probably my favorite just because I felt like I could relate with her obsession with fandoms and online communities and just general internet consumption.
I thought Mikaela Hoover did a good job with the narration though I do wish we had 4 individual narrators for the point of views. There was a small section where Manijeh Khakpour spoke which kind of came out of nowhere. I am curious what the looks like in the book because it similarly came out of nowhere.
It really is hard to explain this book but it was a fun time. So if you are looking for something a little chaotic, centers around 4 sisters born into wealth who are self involved & spoiled, give this one a try!
