Despite the good reviews, I found this book shallow, pointless ...and absolutely non-engaging, however well-written. The story is about attractive young things leading shallow lives. The main female character, Lydia, is, to say the least, irritating, spoilt and empty-headed. As for the hard copy, seller sent me a paperback described as 'in good condition'. Oh, really? It came apart as soon as I started reading it and I had to secure it with tape all the way through. Only good for the recycling bin. Disappointing.

I'm not a reader of fiction but glad I made an exc...eption as this is a masterpiece.
