If I had to sum up this book in a few words it would be: predictable, boring and flat.

The only props I’ll give this book is I enjoyed the nod and slight tie in to Mackie’s other book “How to kill your family” … but otherwise it was a flop. 

I couldn’t find a single character POV I enjoyed as they all felt very much the same, self-serving and snobby. I’d argue the vast majority is just people complaining out the ‘hardships’ of being rich and bitching about their family with predictable secrets. 

I can’t say there was a single plot point that felt worth the wait or was surprising in anyway - except maybe the very end which was actually more disappointing than what I had hoped! 

This pseudo-reality of purgatory felt poorly executed and just a lazy way to add humour and narrate stories that would have been more interesting if told by a POV in the situation rather than just watching. 

Overall I feel this book tried too hard to be humorous and get the reader to hate these characters … that it completely forgot to build any character to root for or a plot to grip.
