    About this audiobook

    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.

      Good chick lit

      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!

      I really liked this book. It really gave me an insight into how the world of New York socialite moms work, where kids are just the latest accessory. I really liked the fish-out-of-water perspective.

      This was a fun, light read and offers good perspective on the "Mommy Wars."
