I picked this up in a used bookstore based on the intriguing cover and it paid off in every way possible. This is a memoir about the descendants of a very, very wealthy family (Vanderbilt), and how things went terribly wrong.
Wendy Burden writes unsparingly and hilariously about her very wealthy and very dysfunctional family. From visiting her grandparents' estate on an island to only occasionally seeing her flighty, hippie mother, this is a fascinating look at the 1% and how things can go terribly wrong no matter how much money you have.
But above all, it is utterly hilarious. I didn't write much about it when I read it, but DANG, it's good. You should read it. I mean, look at that awesome cover!
