Did not care for this book. It was an easy read but the characters lacked depth. Their first world problems in modern day were all self inflicted and tumultuous. Felt like a mix of a modern day reality show and telenovela.
The sisters especially reminded me of the Culpo sisters TV show. Anyway, did appreciate the traditional, straight thinking, sweet nanny Lola.
A soap opera inspired story about wealthy Jewish Mexican Americans living in Los Angeles. Story started out slow, halfway thru picks up. The relationships and drama are a bit far fetched (think melodramatic soap opera like) - was a fun read. Didn’t make me feel attached to any of the characters in any deep way. Wouldn’t necessarily recommend.
