I devoured this for the drama (someone compared it to an episode of Scandal, which I've never seen but feels apt) and its progressiveness; however, it is messy in often-distracting ways. The way Rachel and Nathan's relationship develops doesn't feel particularly organic (even in this setting of rich people behaving badly), and both of them grated on me over time. Also, Rachel's justifying her affair based on her husband's cheating feels a little gross, though I understand the motivation. Otherwise, this was a fun read that I flew through.
