Kenny Loves to Read

Ah, the lives of the obscenely rich and famous! The wealth described in this book was sure to make even the most content of us wonder what it would be like to be THAT stupidly rich and never have to worry about losing sleep over an unpaid bill. Or maybe it was just me, ha! I really liked Rachel and Astrid, both came across as strong, rational women so I was rooting for them all the way. Okay, Astrid may have been a little naive about somethings but I still liked the light she was painted in. Nick on the other hand...soooooooooo naive! I wanted to reach into the pages and shake him every single time he said money didn't matter. If he had lived a sheltered life, it would have made sense but he lived and worked in NY as a professor, so he must have understood that yatch and jet owning would make a difference to someone who's mum put herself through night school to become an estate agent. I mean, really!? Anyway, overall I really enjoyed this crazy, crazy story of excess and drama. The footnotes annoyed the hell out of me at first, but then I got used to ignoring them, most of the time. I didn't realise this was part of a series so I was a little surprised at the almost abrupt ending but I guess this mean I will be tucking into books 2 and 3 very soon...now time to go watch the movie!
