The mothers on Manhattan's chic Upper East Side are highly educated, extremely wealthy, and very competitive. They throw themselves and all of their energy and resources into full-time child rearing, turning their kids into the unwitting pawns in a game where success is measured in precocious achievements, jam-packed schedules, and elite private-school pedigrees. Hannah Allen has recently moved to the neighborhood with her New York City-bred investment banker husband and their two-year-old daughter, Violet. She's immediately inundated by an outpouring of advice from her not-so-well-intentioned new friends and her overbearing, socially conscious mother-in-law, who coach her on matters ranging from where to buy the must-have $300 baby dress to how to get into the only pre-pre-preschool that counts. Despite her better instincts and common sense, Hannah soon finds herself caught up in the competitive whirl of high-stakes mothering.… (more)

Total brain candy! ( )

I was under no impression that this was going to be a great work of literature. I knew it was suppose to be a funny, quick read about a mom trying to fit in with the high society moms of New York. However, I couldn’t even enjoy this as just a simple comedy because the main character is so unlikeable. She portrays the other moms as mean spirited and only concerned with superficial, silly things- yet she herself constantly uses words like ‘awky’, ‘natch’, ‘diff’, ‘mag’, and, possibly the worst, ‘neighb’. In the end, everyone in this book was annoying. ( )

OMG. So very bad. I skimmed the last 4 chapters or so, because I couldn't take it. I thought it would be a fun, cheesy read, but it was just not an interesting story. Maybe it's because I had already been a stay-at-home mama for a few years before I read it, but I just couldn't relate to the main character and her city lifestyle. PASS. ( )

This was really cute, although a bit predictable. Some of the "slang" was a little irritating and I hated their dumb porn movie names. There was zero point to that....But it was a nice, light read! ( )
