Do not get me wrong - this is not a bad book. It is mostly written in an engaging way (Although sometimes it Seems a little redundant and over-explanatory) and the basic concept of a group of creative friends among splat two make it and the others do not and what did Entails is interesting. The problem Is that nothing much happens after the first 100 or so pages. The characters lead Their lifes and mostly thesis lives do not really seem worth the 400 pages, Especially As They do not really seem to develop. On and on goes main character Jules 'obsession with her best friends' success and her quest for finally turning her own life into something as special. That might be a realistic portrayal of today's society and maybe all of us - but it's a little boring all the same.
