I did like certain aspects of this book, but everything I liked feels like it could be executed in a way I would like even more. I understand why Guppy doesn't tell her stories chronologically, and I think that worked fine in The Blindfold Horse, but here I think it hurts more than it helps - especially when it becomes clear that things were moved around in editing. For example, she uses the term "Anglo-Saxons" occasionally throughout the book, and only when she uses it for the last time does she clarify that at the time the term was used for Americans and the English. 

The pretty privilege you can read between the lines of this book is wild. Pretty people really just lead charmed lives, damn.
