Another book with a great premise but executed poorly.  It was cheesy and unrealistic to put it bluntly.  Now if someone had given me this as an outline or the fact that they just wrote out the expanded ideas for the book but it wasn't finished I would say they were off to a good start.  But this was presented as a book.  Firstly, the concentration on money and name brands was overly astounding, I skipped pages because it talked about fashion and who were what when ALL the time.  I've YET to meet a group of guys that would sit with their sister and discuss the name brands their parents or whoever else wore for any amount of time, besides saying 'the parents was fresh last night' and keeping the conversation going, no guys are going to discuss the designer, how they wore it and so on, the book was so based off of fashion, well name brand until everything else became a moot point.The book had great climatic points that wasn't expounded on because of superficial crap.  Most of the things that were actually 'talked out' by the characters were things that should have been stated to get to a point.  And things that were stated were the main things that should have been 'talked out' by the characters.  It was too much time spent on the importance of the family because of their money and the things their money could buy than the actual story.  I know most authors that write about people with wealth don't have it themselves, but please know that most people with money NEVER talk about it, unless asked 'who are you wearing' and so forth, they let it be shown, not told.  This story could have been actually pretty good with the content premise, but it was overshadowed by nonsense and insignificant materialistic mess.  Almost close, but definitely not a real cigar.
