Lexington Larrabee has everything.
Fabulous clothes, an expensive car, a mansion, a jet at her disposal and a
check for $25 million dollars waiting for her….that is until her dad spoils
everything. After causing one too many scandals Lexi’s father decides she has
to earn her inheritance… all $25 million. Now she must complete 52 weeks of 52
dead end minimum wage jobs before she can cash in on her fortune. Now add in
the fact that her father has stuck her with a babysitter, granted a very cute
babysitter who is quite ripped, and Lexi’s world pretty much sucks. But there
is more to meets the eye with this rich girl. Underneath her fabulous
lifestyle, Lexi’s lives in a world without love. Will her 52 jobs be able to
solve her problems or will Lexi be drawn back into her old life of scandal?
52 Reasons To Hate My Father is a great
summer novel. I was looking for something light that I could read in one
sitting. This was just what I was looking for. We have all seen the socialites scattered
on the tabloids, but in Jessica Brody’s new novel she adds a certain twist to
the out of control rich girl that we usually see. I would have liked to see
Brody go deeper into the jobs and expo some hard truths about minimum wage jobs
today. I’m not saying go full on Barbara Ehrenreich, but a little more exposure
on the plight of middle and lower classes would have been refreshing. Still, I
loved this book. If I laugh out loud while reading any book, then I know I have
found a winner. 52 Reasons to Hate My Father will keep you entertained
and smiling as Lexi struggles to adjust to her new lifestyle.
