I enjoyed the influencer aspect, the farm, and the twist at the end. I didn’t care for Natalie or her husband, but that was obviously not supposed to be the case. This book touches on a variety of timely topics, but in my opinion, it didn’t spend enough time on any single topic to offer meaningful commentary. It’s leaning on a flashy and (admittedly) intriguing premise, but it doesn’t deliver anything deeper than surface-level shock.

Overall, I found it to be highly entertaining, but nothing groundbreaking. The whole time I was reading, I kept thinking about how this would be a GREAT book club pick. It’s also being made into a movie with Anne Hathaway, so if you’re planning to watch the adaptation, you may want to give the book a read first.

I've been an avid lifelong reader, but in 2020, I was reading more than usual during the COVID shutdown. I started myĀ BookstagramĀ account in July, right in the middle of the chaos. It was my attempt to overcome the boredom and isolation everyone was feeling.

Over the years, BookstagramĀ has become my favorite corner of the internet: my creative outlet and a space for me to share the things I love.

A few things about me:
* I’m 27 and I live in Greenville, SC!
* I’m currently planning my wedding to my wonderful fiancĆ© (November 2026) <3
* My entire life, I’ve loved to read. My dad is an English professor and I grew up literally surrounded by books
* I work as a media buyer at an advertising agency and I love my job! 
* I love fashion and home decor, especially colorful/unique pieces
* My favorite genre is literary fiction, but I also enjoy thrillers!

Full of drama and strong character development, these books offer a glimpse into a world I’ve never been part of. The richer and more badly behaved, the better.

In my post, I asked for more recommendations from this genre, and the responses did NOT disappoint. I rounded up all the responses and threw in some of my personal recommendations, and curated a list of 23 books that I think fit this trope perfectly.

Unfortunately These Summer Storms was not a hit for our group. The writing felt clunky and the characters fell flat. The premise is intriguing and I love the ā€œrich people behaving badlyā€ trope, but the execution just wasn’t there. BUT…even when we all dislike the book (aka this month’s book), the convo is always flowing, and the other girls bring such funny and insightful thoughts!

about me

Hi! I’m Erin, I’m 25, and I live in Greenville, South Carolina. I graduated from Flagler College in sunny St. Augustine, Florida in 2020. In college I was a strategic communication and English double major! I now work at an advertising agency with super fun household name clients. I love my company and am so thankful to work there. I’m a work from home girl and watch way too many TikToks related to working from home morning/night routines. By day, I spend my time as a digital platforms specialist, working in paid social, paid search, and programmatic media. By night, I spend my time curled up with a good book, creating content for this website or my Bookstagram account, or exploring Greenville with my dog, Henry. Beyond books and reading, I’m obsessed with Taylor Swift and all things fall! Think: the ‘ber months (September-December).

Since my early years, reading has been my happy place and my escape. My dad is an English professor (and has been for 21 years), so you could say I was born with a book in my hands and a hunger for reading This corner of the internet is my haven—a space where I can get creative and talk about what I’m passionate about. You’ll discover an array of book reviews, random literary musings, and an occasional lifestyle post.

Feel free to drop your thoughts or recommendations in the comments—I’m glad you’re here!

-Erin
