did not like it

I read a little more than half and realized I'd rather be doing absolutely anything else. I was excited by the title and all the potential for eye-opening cultural conflict, but it was chapter after chapter of privileged girls who attend boarding school and spend their summers in South America; they fight each other using psychological babble and have nervous breakdowns while quoting classic literature.
Gag.
They love and divorce and have babies and feelings and blah,blah, blah, who cares? They're two-demential and un-relatable.
If you like reading for the sake of reading, here's the book for you. If you prefer your literature to be life-changing, perspective-expanding, or entertaining, then save yourself the trouble.
