4.0

File under "Horrible people behaving horribly" and "Overprivileged people getting what they deserve." The characters are, almost to a person, self-centered, selfish, unkind, and unethical. Yet the writing is beautiful and it was satisfying to see 3 of the 4 main characters get what they deserved.
