I wasn't sure how to rate this book at first. It certainly isn't at all what it looks like on the cover, for one thing. Neither Gloria, Lorraine, or Clara are "vixens."

Good things:
- This book explored a little bit of race relations and interracial relationships
- The 1920s, flappers, etc.
- If you like drama
- Spoiled girl acknowledges her privilege
- Ended with an action-packed bit of drama
- Very well done multiple persepectives

Bad things:
- Did not talk about race enough
- Lots of girl-on-girl cattiness, which I never like
- Marketed as a romance (which this definitely has) but more so a "finding yourself" and "follow-your-passion vs. life-laid-out-for-you" book
- Potentially problematic in some aspects (I'll leave that up for you to decide)
- Characters can be unlikeable
-Instalove (not insta-relationship though, which people often confuse)

So... around the halfway point is when I started to like it and when I started to realize that maybe I did want to root for the characters! And maybe I did care! But it took me awhile.
