Maybe it’s a dream for a lot of people to have a rich dad so they could basically do everything without worrying about the repercussion since money can solve almost anything. However, it is just a pure nightmare to Lexington Larrabee.

As the daughter of Larrabee Media’s CEO, Richard Larrabee, Lexi basically misses out all of the father-daughter bonding time she deserves because her dad is always so busy. Every important moment in her life, whether it is her first day of school, sweet sixteen party, birthday, dance recitals, or her high school graduation, he has been too busy to participate.

Therefore, when Lexi bumps her Mercedes Benz into the convenience store because she gets drunk after running into her on-and-off boyfriend in the club, she thinks her dad would just pay his minions to clean up all the mess she has made up instead of showing up in the suite she stays in and actually informs her that she would not get the $25 million trust fund she is supposed to get 4 days later, which is her 18th birthday, unless she spends the next whole year working on 52 different occupations that he has chosen for her.

As reading the book, even just starting, you could tell Lexi is a spoiled kid that has everything material throughout the 17 years of her life. However, that is not enough for her. What she really wants is never money but love and affection. Her father is never there when she needs him nor does he care about her, her mother died when she was 5 years old and all of her siblings are all over the world busy with their own business. Some of the time when you are reading it, you would be annoyed by her attitude and how ungrateful she is to the things she already has, such as friends who really cares for her, her cute dog, and the employees in the house who take care of her since she was little. But the more you read, the more you realize that she is just lonely and longing for attention that she has never had from her parents.

It’s an interesting book to read. The auther doesn’t really use difficult words so it is easy to catch on, what’s more, the plot of the story is rather appealing. I am really looking forward to keeping on reading what Lexi would do next and what is going to happen.

  2. Of course we can't deny that money is necessary, but it's not the only thing we should pursue. I think this problem is what nowadays parents face, and we should really think about and cope with it.
