This Beautiful Life

This novel is the story of the Bergamot family, who've just moved from small-town Ithaca to big bad NYC for dad Richard's new job at a university. Apparently it's a great job at a wealthy school, because mom Liz gets to stay home and the kids - Jake and Coco - go to a chi-chi private school. But then 15-year-old Jake gets an emailed video from an eighth-grade girl - which he then forwards to his best friend - and their world starts to collapse.

That's where I stopped reading. When I read the book description I thought the story would appeal to me, but after reading that much it just didn't. It's just not something I care to read about. So, I don't recommend this book, although it might appeal to some people. It's just not my kind of story.
