One reviewer (male, English) said: "...It is atmospheric, satisfying Great Gatsby-lite complete, with fish-out-of-water first-person narration, country house parties and a fabulously wealthy male protagonist who is not all that he seems.' Another (female, English, with a Russian name): "...A cross between Dorothy Parker and Holly Golightly, Katey Kontent is a priceless narrator in her own right -- the brains of a bluestocking with the legs of a flapper and the mores of Carrie Bradshaw..." Really??
