I can see why readers enjoy this author - this was a fun, fast, and intriguing read (*definitely appropriately dubbed as a 'summer read') - while this would not usually end up on my TBR - it will generate some lively discussion in my upcoming bookclub meeting... Redeeming factors - the characters are not completely heinous or unforgivable in spite of the ensuing scandals and it was highly atmospheric and cinematic Spoiler: Status quo and reputational management trumps happy endings...+ Protagonist's (Celeste) relationship with parents is incredibly heart-warming <3

once again, reading a book after i have seen/saw the movie/series never does any good. i had high hopes for this book after watching it, and while it was a good read, i was disappointed to read the ending. Netflix had a better story/plot, but overall, it was a very good and easy read!
