Product Information

Every year, the Sinclairs spend their summer on a private island, where the grandparents have built four houses for themselves and their three daughters, plus a smaller building for their cooks and cleaners. Cadence and Gat are particularly aware of the trappings that go with the good life: a Saab, BMW, Tiffany items, iPads, and the colleges Harvard, Bryn Mawr, and Pomona. Much of the story takes place during summers spent on Beechwood Island with Cady's friends: Johnny, Mirren, and Gat. I couldn’t be so excited to start the prequel of one of the most mind blowing, shocking, surprising stories I’ve ever read! Back then she spent long afternoons with Taft and the twins, splashing at the big beach, while I drew pictures on graph paper and read in the hammock on the Clairmont house porch.

Es un libro pretencioso, que juega con elevarlo a un punto al que no llega solo por tratar de salvarse a sí mismo y ponerlo en una posición mejor de la que es.While Harris pays lip service to equality and considers himself educated and enlightened on social matters, his reaction to Gat’s racial difference reveals a surprising degree of bigotry. It's the kind of story many kids dream of playing a role in -- golden sunsets on a private island, a tight-knit family, funny and cool kids -- but the characters aren't developed enough to be loved. La estrategia de marketing de este libro llega incluso a la propia sinopsis, donde se pide que si lees el libro mientas sobre él para que nadie sepa de lo que trata, y honestamente, es la trama más simple que he leído en muchos años. But somewhere along the lines, I started to become intrigued with the story because it became this strange, wild thing that I couldn't piece together.

She's hypocritical about her wealth because she criticizes her own fucking family for being wealthy. Each of the women believes that she is owed a larger share of the inheritance, and they even involve their children—Johnny, Mirren, and Cady—asking them to lobby Harris for more money or prized possessions. It was poetic and profound—drifting in as a gentle breeze and building to the swirling force of a hurricane.

my best friend at the time and i had a lil book club just between the two of us where we exchanged our favourite books and knew that the other would love it, too. The publisher hoped that the novel would have a large crossover appeal to adult readers because it had "teens who must interact with imperfect adults and imperfect adults who are important to the entire dynamic of the plot. He’s decided the scientists are corrupt and the whole sunblock industry is a moneymaking fraud,” says Mirren.
