Lizzie Harwood

This was an odd read. Harwood seems very self-aware in some ways, and completely oblivious in others, and in ways that do not seem to make much sense. I suppose this is the human condition, but it made the reading feel more like circling the drain endlessly- and it does not help that her affect throughout the book was utterly flat.

Despite this, and the restrictions Harwood acknowledged about a lack of facts- even to what her daily duties were!- it is a scary look inside the enclaves of the ultra-wealthy, and points up how they are utterly disengaged with the likes of normal people. Considering most of our elected officials are in the rich to ultra-rich demographics, it points up how disconnected they are- since THEY get whatever they want when they want it, they cannot imagine another existence- even the existences of the people tasks with providing their effortless lives.

I did find it something of a page-turner; while uninformative and flat in affect, it was still an honest look at some aspects of a particular lifestyle.… (altro)

Go See the Kids by Lizzie Harwood was an amazing read.
I loved the way Harwood portrays real family issues and problems in such a believable way. Maybe not all the characters in the story are likeable, but the sure are realistic. I specially enjoyed viewing the story from the mother's perspective.
I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the trilogy!
I really recommend this book if you're looking for something short, but good.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review… (altro)
