Since I read Daisy Jones and the Six and enjoyed it, I picked this up at the library. A fast and furious read. I was trying to figure out if it is supposed to be funny or taken seriously.....and I hope the former. After watching two shows recently that dealt with white privilege, I have to think that this book could also be made into one of these series on Netflix or Hulu and I probably would like the adaptation better. The humor would be more obvious. The party in this book could be portrayed so well in one of these shows. It was comic and so over the top.
The characters?? Eh. I guess I was supposed to really like some of Mick's children, but they were not appealing to me.
But if you are looking for a fast and amusing book - this could be it. You won't meet memorable characters; you will just be carried along a fast plotline to the conclusion.
The New York Times review was pretty critical of a lot of aspects of the book and I agreed with the reviewer all the way.
