About this audiobook
From the New York Times Bestselling Author of Hollywood Dirt comes a fun and flirty novel that will appeal to Gossip Girl and Sex in the City fans.
Falling from grace hurts like a B.
My life had been perfect. Then my parents got arrested by the SEC, my trust fund dried up quicker than a Miami sidewalk in the summer, and I walked in on my boyfriend diddling his maid. Diddling? I think that's still a word, right?
My fall from grace yanked me right off my pampered Manhattan throne and onto the unforgiving steps of Nicole Brantley, socialite and queen B. My new life involves me walking her dog and mixing her smoothies. I try and navigate my own problems while fixing all of hers.
I want what every New York girl wants. A career, an apartment, and true love, preferably in a smoking hot package.
It turns out I'll have to fight for all of it.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Disclaimer: I stopped at about 40% in because the book did absolutely nothing positive for me. Maybe the book gets interesting later, but the author lost me.
The cover and genre are misleading: it's one of those books which usually sport a sixpack-clad half naked dude on it. Basically erotica geared towards women. Romantic comedy is just the wrong genre here. And you guessed it: all male characters are insufferable assholes for some reason. I was hoping for more going by the description and cover.
That might just be my male perspective, but I personally find it a bit demeaning when the book has no decent male characters: they're all replaceable assholes with two features: they're all rich, and they're all supermodels - and when I talk replaceable: they ARE replaced, constantly. The female lead can't decide who she's interested in, and it gets really old. I'd have preferred if there was one, maybe two really fleshed out love interests, instead of the multitude of shallow characters whose names I couldn't keep track of after a while.
There's lots of random interludes and/or flashbacks that don't do anything for the story but really cement my conclusion that this is just really long winded erotica: a completely random flashback to a sex scene with the ex that doesn't reveal any information, a random and extremely inappropriate kiss by the asshole actor (the book loves male characters just going in for it without asking or warning: "here, let me grab you and kiss you, that's totally okay, because what's consent!?"). But there's never much getting to know any of the characters, it's all very shallow and physical. "Oh, this dude is suddenly interesting because he has an expensive painting in his house and he's also beautiful, let me tell you how beautiful he is 20 times over" . But why not flesh out the characters a little and make them actually interesting and likable? :/
I didn't enjoy the writing very much either, lots of repeated information to create emphasis on obvious information, and everything feels really long winded. You don't have to repeat an apartment number 5 times in a row for it to sink in it's relevant. Lots of descriptions of how handsome male characters A-Z are, repeated over and over again. Being beautiful isn't a redeeming character trait :/
All in all, I just found it really shallow. And for a male reader, there's basically nothing here to enjoy - but lots of romantic fiction actually works for men too, so the genre really isn't an excuse.1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I had to stop at about 42%. I am thoroughly confused with which pie Chloe is choosing because she seems to be taking a bite from so many right now. I don't understand her character because the arc has gone from one extreme to another and there's been no inbetween. She's now just become this normal working class person and has come to turns with that since falling from high end riches.
I really wanted to enjoy it but it fell massively short.1 person found this helpful
