'Entitlement'

Here we are with the Bullington boys. Alicia is a middle-class student at Oxford who hooks up with Chris, second in line to a peerage and a first-class prick. Chris and his braying friends get drunk, insult people (including Alicia), throw food, and steal things. However, it's clear that Alicia finds unearned wealth and privilege attractive despite their downside, and she ends up on the continent with her shallow paramour. There she meets Henry, Chris' elder brother, who treats her considerably better. Perhaps she had better leave her options open?

There is a supernatural element involving a haunting in an Oxford College. A pregnant woman was murdered by a student, and her ghost is  said to be outraged by similar antics by similar chaps. Every now and again Alicia sees what may be the ghost. However, this aspect of the story was so underplayed that it seemed irrelevant to me. I was left with the depressing image of a world of vile people in which nothing really matters other than immediate gratification and planning to fleece others of their wealth. Not, for me, a winner.
