I was less than enamored with Truly Madly Guilty, my first book by this author. But this one, this one! Reading this novel was like eating ice cream. Yes, it had a guilty pleasure feel about it, but who cares?

Loved every minute reading of the helicopter parents, PTA nightmares, school politics, gifted kids versus "normal" children, bullying, sharp-eared mothers, mommy cliques, rivalries and jealousies, obsessions with weight, it was one of those I didn't want to stop reading. To hell with the chores!

What on earth was in those fizzy pink cocktails that set everyone's tongue to wagging on Trivia Night? Proves the theory that it can be dangerous to drink on an empty stomach. (view spoiler)

Melissa Great review! I really liked this one, too. Did you see there's going to be a show?

Thanks, Melissa. Yes, that is the main reason I read this so quick on the heels of TMG. Any idea what channel?


Canadian Jen I enjoyed this one too, ZT. I've removed the guilty, truly one as I've read too many reviews saying it's not nearly as good. Great review!


Hlee I loved this one too! This will be on HBO February 19th. Can't wait!!! ;)


Melanie Nice review ZT! It is an addicting book. I'm looking forward to the HBO show too :)


Zoeytron Thank you Jen, Heather L, and Melanie! Will check out the HBO series.

It's on HBO starting next month. I really like Reese Witherspoon and imagine it's going to be good! I guess we shall see. :)

Oh, and I have to mention, The Husband's Secret is a great read, too! ;)
