With apologies for a metaphor moralizing food, (pleasure should not be guilty): The cover is a great fit, this feels like a slice of sinfully rich cake, no redeeming nutritional value.  High society crimes, villains which thanks as much to snobbery as fraud and theft, you love to hate, but make for a delightful escapism in hearing descriptions of the luxuries they indulge in while ‘getting away with it'. 🧐The inversion of the traditional exploited teen trope was refreshing. 👌🏻In different hands, I could see a longer treatise on what a ‘cold' upbringing does to the narrator after the time frame covered, but that was definitely beyond this moment of sly fun.
