TITLE: Perfectly Impossible
AUTHOR: Elizabeth Topp
GENRE: Fiction
RATING: 4 stars
My favorite part of this book is definitely the crazy in depth look at what rich NYC socialites do or don't do with their days. Some of the over the top stories are so nuts that it makes for fascinating reading, even if the story is "fiction".
There is a nice balance between Anna's life contrasting with the socialites. She works as an Assistant to one of them and it serves as the background for a story of excess, optimism and sheer fun.
The tone of the book is consistent - almost an unbelievable "tone" of "can you believe this?". The writing is down to earth and totally engrossing. I hate authors who spend too much time on minor details that brings the story down - it is not the case here.
At times, I found Anna a bit dense, but her character propels the story forward and I ended up really siding with her in the end.
Fun read.
