Please don't judge me on the title of the first of my 50 books: Primates of Park Avenue. I downloaded this to my kindle over the holidays because I was interested in the concept: a woman and her family move to the Upper East Side (from the West Village). There, she studies the women of the UES as an anthropologist would.
I love New York and thought this would be an interesting read... but I was not a huge fan. In short, the book was like reading one large humble-brag, which was not what I was looking for.
3/10 (I finished it, so it couldn't quite give it a 1).
Sounds like the author missed an opportunity to write something searing and fun, with a sense of humor!
