I listen to this as an audiobook during my cross country drive. I actually quite liked it, especially for a car full of non-readers except for myself. It was simple enough to follow and I like the ending. I didn't see it coming. Overall, it's a good read.
"People that get their way think theyâre the ones in control. But the ones that give are the ones that rule. Itâs not the politician in office, but the donor behind the check that wields the sword.â
What a ride this book was. Told from 5 multiple perspectives, we get to know the ladies of Buckhead Womenâs Foundation. We meet Shannon, Olivia, Karen, Crystal, and Jenny, the owner of Glow Beauty Bar. Most of their interactions happen at Jennyâs beauty salon where more than just hair and manicures are done. It is THE exclusive place to be if you want to be in the inner sanctum of the best gossip. The rule of the game in Buckhead is to keep your friends close but your enemies so close, you are almost glued to the hips and you can be twins.
I love how the women are like the staged of homes when you want to sell your house, they look fantastic and perfect but they are all empty and if you get really close, you will see all the cracks in the facade.
There are some strong bonds, solidarity, and comradery that do take place and the lengths they will go through, regardless if they hate and love each other. It was character-driven because I am all there for hidden character motivations, background stories, and all that angst. Plus, I thoroughly enjoyed the snarky comments.
