Book Synopsis

This voicy, hilarious, no-prisoners-taken cultural satire reads as if Andy Sachs from The Devil Wears Prada stayed at her magazine job and became the worst version of herself, for fans of Olivie Blake's Girl Dinner, Tony Tulathimutte's Rejection and Aisling Rawle's The Compound.

Have you ever considered what your tote bag says about you? Or pepper grinder? Or phone case?

Connie Qing is a professional tastemaker. An editor at Arbiter magazine, Connie ordains what's cool and what's not. Her glamorous life has all the trappings of affluence, but no financial stability. She's able to camouflage her midwestern, first-gen upbringing behind gifted skincare and comped hotel stays.

As Connie constructs the illusion of wealth, she resents those who have it effortlessly--particularly the nepo babies who work beneath her at Arbiter. She never stops to ask: Does having the "right" things make her happy? Can so-called good taste be a substitute for a meaningful life?

Does This Make Me Look Rich? is a biting satire of taste, privilege, and class about an influencer-adjacent editor whose job is to hawk aspiration--while knowing she will never truly belong to the world she sells.

Review Quotes
