Yeah the second part sounds much better. I like knowing that there’s an amusing part. I’ll keep it on my radar.

I’m always intrigued by books about school admissions. I’m not going to rush out to pick it up, but I’ll definitely keep it in mind next time I need something light!

In reply to Sarah's Book Shelves. OMG- you have to skim it and let me know how realistic it is! For all I know the book isn't exaggerating.

In reply to Eva @ The Paperback Princess. Then this will make you nuts! Thankfully, it's only about a quarter of the book, but it's so extreme that it felt like longer.Start on pg 32- when she goes in for the interview. The interview itself is hilarious and it just keeps going from there.

In reply to Monika @ Lovely Bookshelf. I think you'll enjoy Late's down-to-earth attitude towards the dreadful parents!

Hmmm…probably not for me since I deal with annoying kids and parents too often in my non-reading life! But, it does sound like an ideal book for when you just need a little distraction.

Going to bookmark this one for the next time I’m feeling, “I need some chick lit, stat!”

I am for sure adding this to my list but I’m glad for the warning about how it starts. One of the things I hate reading about most are women who give up on life because things with a man didn’t work out! Still, it’s nice to have easy reading options on hand for when you need ’em.

Haha – I’m surprised you kept plugging through that first part! But, as someone who has sat through one too many girls dinners listening to her friends rehash/disect/complain about the Manhattan admissions process (while I sat smirking b/c I knew I was planning to leave NYC before my children hit school age), I know there’s PLENTY of material to work with there!

Oh, this sounds like a fun read, Catherine; I’ll definitely add it to my list for those times when I need a palate cleanser or something to pull me out of the doldrums!
