What kept me reading this book is the unbelievability of how the aristocracy struggle to give their lives meaning, since they don’t have to labor for any of life’s necessities or to serve others, except through their charitable allowances.

Fascinating account of life in the Upper East Side. It was very well-written and I could not put this book down. I was not prepared for the last part of her book and it got me to the core. This book was fantastic.

Read if you watched Gossip Girl, but don't take anything at face value. I found the "anthropological" parts interesting, but the author may have stretched the connections between observations in the field made by actual anthropologists and personal experiences. But, well, the cover does say memoir.

Very interesting and enlightening look at the female anatomy.
