I will say that I liked that the story was told from multiple POVs. However, I felt that there were too many cliches. Nina has money, because her husband sold his business, so they're rich, but she doesn't think of herself as one of the elite (though all her friends are, except for one, whom she has to travel to see -- and frankly whose life I probably would have been more interested in following).

The Brownings' son, Finch, isn't likeable at all, even when he's claiming there's more to his side of the story than everyone knows.

The only characters I truly felt for were Lyla, as she wanted so hard to fit in, and Nina's old boyfriend, who, like Nina's friend, I think would've been a good character to see more of.

That being said, it was well-written, which I think is one of the reasons I found myself hooked up enough to read it to the end.
