It's a 28 page book telling a story her grandma told her about her life. 

The picture at the end is cute. 

Liked this.

Found this interesting in parts but towards the end I felt he lost me.

I didn't think a club king would be relatable but felt out of touch and perhaps bitter at the end. 

I enjoyed the bits about the club's and what made them great and the operational challenges of running mega clubs.

Thought this was a good enough book, I enjoyed parts of it but towards the end I kind of fell out of love with it, I'm not sure what it was but it just didn't grab me.

Solid book, enjoyed this, I think I mostly enjoyed the bits from the perspective of Ivan, though Peter's story was juicer.

I was a little bit insulted when I found out Margaret's age as 37 year old woman, when Margaret was being described initially I thought she was like 50. BRUTAL Rooney, Brutal. 

Anyway, enjoyed this immensely and thought it was a good Rooney. If you like that sort of thing, it's more of it for sure.

I enjoyed this story, I could not put it down and I raced through it.

The prose was really beautiful, and so so was the story enclosed. 

Rooting for the main characters to get a good life, and feeling their wins and losses. 

Enjoyed it.

Didn't feel drawn into this and it was a bit young for me.

Enjoyed this book, the unhinged woman trope a bit, but honestly, I feel like she actually acts on the mad impulses in parts and by the end it actually feels like she's grown.

Enjoyed this, it's a good page turner, couldn't put it down, and raced through it in a few days.

All the main players felt like real people and I enjoyed the pacing.

One of the stories gave me a legit nightmare, book was creepy as advertised.

Weird.
