DNF at 28% and really at that point I was skimming it.
Well, I wish I'd read the reviews before getting this book, but I got taken in by the title! I will admit that I don't love the epistolary style of writing, but from the very beginning of the book, the main character Fawn with her emails, journal entries, combative and often fraudulent online reviews, texts, and tweets, is very unlikeable. She is a bit odd and says inappropriate things which turn out to be lies and things made up in her head. She's the kind of person who thinks that she's smart because of her extensive vocabulary and book knowledge, but she lies all the time to make herself feel good and her idea of being polite or being "truthful" is to give a lot of back-handed compliments. I wanted to give Fawn a chance so I kept reading hoping the story would improve but unfortunately, she just gets worse. Fawn is rude and deluded, totally lacking in business and financial sense, (did I already mention how she lies all the time?) and has a horrible sense of entitlement that makes her a total jerk to her staff, customers, her family, and most everyone she meets. Do not recommend.
