Perfectly Impossible
This light and sometimes heartwarming book felt like a throw-back to the sixties, when escapist reading often delved into the lives of the uber rich and the problems that they create just by being. I didn’t care for them then and didn’t love this book now. I’d rather read about accessible people, not modern-day fairy tales.
Yet if you take away the glitz and glam, you are left with Anna, an undiscovered artist who pays her way by working for The Rich and Famous and Vacuous KissyVon Bismark (only her husband calls her Bambi.). Anna is a personal assistant extraordinaire, who can and does solve problems from the tiniest to the unimaginable. She’s so good, in fact, that she’s unbelievable. I wanted to believe in her, and if I suspend my disbelief enough to accept the over the top things she does for her boss, I can, but the world I know and the one created just doesn’t let me go that far. Maybe I’m too much of a pragmatist for this one.
If you like tales of the rich and the world they inhabit, you will enjoy this one. It is an easy read, and well written.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read it.
