Honestly? I had a hard time reading this book. I couldn't relate to the characters at all. Their dramas all seemed so superficial, and for the first half of the book, I couldn't even connect to the story, or remember who was whom. I confess that I almost abandoned the reading, but then I decided to keep going. I reconnected to the story more towards the end, and it turns out that it actually becomes interesting after the first half. Things start to happen. And you kind of start understanding how all the characters connect to each other, in a way that makes sense. This might be a nice light reading for the Summer, but maybe you will enjoy more if you are familiar with the area where the story takes place (Hamptons, North Fork, New York), or the field where most of the characters seem to belong to (Arts).
