After I finished this book twice, I found it useful to me. My family was killed and now I am very happy because they are not alive And now I live in Korea alone. Life is very beautiful without them. Three years have passed since their death. And I did not feel any sadness for them. Nor anything like that... because my family deserved to be killed, and now they are dead. If you don't want them in your life, just kill them silently.

I was disappointed with the book. I found the protagonist annoying. She is portrayed as a victim avenging the wrongs against her family and hates the rich but she has a typical mean girl attitude who has made good money from early on in adult life and I found it very irritating to hear her judge everyone else. This made it hard to get behind her vendetta. Too many things went her way by coincidence and the book ended when it started to get interesting. I had higher expectations that were not met.

One of the worst books I have ever read. Interesting plot but so badly written it overpowers everything else. It's like the author watched a badly researched tv show about rich people then tried to explain it to a child. Repeatedly. To make matters worse, the same phrases are used over and over. You could make a drinking game based on use of the phrase "on the nose" and be wasted within a few chapters.
