Thank goodness I got this from the library. The entire family seems like wasted lives. Unhappy marriages, everyone smokes too much, drinks too much and half have done more than a fair share of drugs. All living off the dividends from the family business. The beginning was interesting, learning about the family and business, then come the teen age years of teenagers having access to too much money or friends with too much money, and the book goes down hill from there.

This book is disappointing. Despite the premise, the author shows surprisingly limited insight about the effects of inherited wealth on her family. Big questions are left largely unexplored--for example, the reasons why her brother became a drug dealer in college. There are also large stretches of the book where it's not clear to what extent she was able to rely on the family fortune, for example as a college student and a young adult. The writing itself is lackluster as well.
