There are no hallways here - this is city street living high in the sky. But the upper floors are where the magic happens. The bottom floors are where the lower class people live - the apartments are very much lie today's apartment with hallways and noisy neighbors and urban decay. The thousand-story Tower is a vast city built over Central Park in New York. A girl is falling off the thousand-story tower and the whole book I was going back and forth about which girl it was. The year is 2118 and life is pretty much as it is now, but with better tech. It's a book about human problems that happen to rich kids. GR reviewers liked to parrot that as well.

it's not a book about 'rich people problems'. But it's tiring seeing all those reviewers parrot each other. I've never seen Gossip Girl, so it made no difference to me. Every review I saw used the tag line - futuristic Gossip Girl.

One note to the publisher - don't give them a comparison in your marketing campaign. So I go on Goodreads to checkout what people think after I'm done and it's the typical stuff. It's hard to make characters likable when you're composing a statement about the dark side of human nature, which this book definitely was. I really liked the story and the performance was excellent.
