Review of Good Rich People by Eliza Jane Brazier

 I received a copy of this title via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Lyla has always believed that life is a game she is destined to win, but her husband, Graham, takes the game to dangerous levels. The wealthy couple invites self-made success stories to live in their guesthouse and then conspires to ruin their lives. After all, there is nothing worse than a bootstrapper.

Demi has always felt like the odds were stacked against her. At the end of her rope, she seizes a risky opportunity to take over another person’s life and unwittingly becomes the subject of the upstairs couple’s wicked entertainment. But Demi has been struggling all her life, and she’s not about to go down without a fight.

In a twist that neither woman sees coming, the game quickly devolves into chaos and rockets toward an explosive conclusion.

Because every good rich person knows: in money and in life, it’s winner take all. Even if you have to leave a few bodies behind.

My Review:

4 Stars

This was definitely a different type of story. One that you could actually see becoming a reality with how depraved some people are....especially if they have the money and influence to hide their indiscretions. 

Lyla and Demi are very relatable characters. You have one woman who has had some struggles in life, but has ended up with the elite. The other is about as rock bottom as you can get and has literally nothing left to lose. 

One who is playing to preserve her way of life and the other that is playing for her survival. Nothing good can possibly come from this particular game, but as long as the proper people are entertained it doesn't really matter. 

A story that takes you through both sides of the tracks. Showing you the upper elite that has no regard for a human life and the life of a woman who has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Especially when everyone counts her as the underdog. 

A great way to spend your weekend.
