What do readers think of Everybody Rise by Stephanie Clifford? Write your own review.

I've rarely seen such buzz preceding a book's publication and I do believe it will appeal greatly to a certain audience: those who can't get enough of old-money New York society. Not dissimilar to Messud's Emperor's Children, or Macy's Spoiled, the book read like today's answer to a 19th century novel about class with whiffs of Austen and Wharton. It's an ambitious book and an entertaining one, although the "money and ambition" message of inglorious climbers doesn't quite resonate as much today.
