I wanted to like this book. The description contained all of the lightweight elements I was looking for in a vacation read-lifestyles of the rich and famous, magazine writer trying to uncover it all. Sounds perfect, right? But this book fell short for me in so many ways. It was quite confusing and difficult to read in places, was incredibly unrealistic (even for a book about a secret community for the famous), and overall not that interesting. An average-at-best book.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

I'm a rather voracious reader and enjoy a variety of choices, so I decided to spend some time with Laura Lake over the weekend. However, Laura and I will have a one and done kind of relationship. I found the story completely unrealistic (a 23 year old even remotely competent to be an acting magazine editor?) and and hard to follow in some cases. I'm going to assume that if I was 23 this would be a far more enjoyable read, but neither is the case.

My review has been posted to Goodreads.

Review has also been tweeted as usual.

Thank you! :c)

Magazine editor Laura Lake is always looking for her next best story. She finds it at the secret English country retreat where the rich and famous frolic. Off limits to the great unwashed, Laura must find a way to sneak in and then blend in. Can she do it and get out with her hide intact? A fun and snarky poke at the 1%
