I have mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand I found it a very absorbing and credible story about two “social creatures” in NY in 2015. Unvarnished and un-sensational–not easy to do. I went back to it eagerly and enjoyed it. On the other hand, it built to a sense of a revelatory ending, and then went in an entirely different direction. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could, but the accomplishment outweighs my misgivings about the ending. Kudos to Tara Isabella Burton.
