Thank you Atria books and netgalley for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I didn't hate this, but I think in part that's because I read some of Ziegesar's Gossip Girl series back when I loved the tv show. Thus I was able to tailor my expectations? This book really can be summed up as rich white people are boring and bad for the community. They smoke too much weed and burn down buildings.

This book has the same issue for me that GG had - how did a series get written and turned into a fairly loved tv show when all the characters come across so...one note at best? I couldn't tell you much about each character except their job, and whether one was fat (but DEFINITELY STILL HOT NOT JUST FAT AND SHE ISN'T FAT FAT JUST CHUBBY ENOUGH THAT OTHER WOMEN WILL CALL HER FAT TO FEEL BETTR ABOUT THEMSELVES.) I honestly am only like 85% sure every character is white, which must be such a boring part of Brooklyn.

Overall, wasn't worse than what I was expecting, but I don't exactly recommend this book to someone unless you just want to hate white people in Brooklyn.
