Bad Summer People
Bad Summer People: A Novel
by Emma Rosenblum
Rich people suck (11/3/2023)
Any Jane Doe on the street could have written more creatively. Literally every
person (all rich) is a low life who wants to copulate with someone other than a spouse. Zero nuance, zero ambivalence, just pure "me,me,me" 24/7. Very Trumpian in that regard and utterly depressing & a waste of time.
