Rich Kids of Instagram

Today I am reviewing Rich Kids of Instagram by the creaters of Rich Kids of Instagram and Maya Sloan.

Book Info:

Based on the wildly popular blog “Rich Kids of Instagram,” a dishy and hilarious novel about the intersecting lives of the world’s most extravagant, unapologetically uber-rich teenagers.

The “Rich Kids of Instagram” are not your typical well-to-do brats. These “kids” drive Ferraris, fly to their weekend getaways in private jets, and post self-indulgent photos of themselves online as frequently—and as wantonly—as they blow wads of cash. Not to mention that they’re more involved in sex, drugs, and power plays than most people twice their age.

Drawing from the ten most frequent contributors to the popular blog of the same name—which receives an average of 850,000 unique visitors a month and has been featured on 20/20, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Forbes, The Atlantic, Buzzfeed, Gawker, and others—Rich Kids of Instagram revolves around a core group of spoiled young people, from a Southern Belle poultry-empire heiress to a media mogul’s driven daughter and an old-money rifle heir with a Mayflower legacy; to a nouveau riche outsider who is thrust into the members-only universe of the .1%, with scandalous results.

In a world that is smaller, more connected, and more competitive than ever, where nothing is off limits, some kids are just trying to make a buck—or ten thousand. Prepare to be wowed by this saucy, compulsively readable book about the hilarious display of extravagant wealth and the teenagers who have fallen into it.

My review:
Im surprised this was even made into a "book" there are uninteresting characters and most importantly no plot! All the characters are so annoying with their drugs, and their nonstop chatter about brand names, and 2014 slang. I think this "author" must of just wrote this for the money because I dont see why else someone would write this and have it out for the public to read. However dont read it, trust me on this one its a waste of time and a meaningless, horrible book!

My final verdict:
I can not recommend this book and it hard to even call it a book, truth be told, because a book has a plot. This is one of the worst things I have ever read!
