Karen Quinn's The Ivy Chronicles is the amusing story of what happens when a New Yorker loses her job, her husband, and her ritzy Park Avenue pad and is forced to carve out a new niche for herself and her two private school-educated daughters. After transferring the girls to public school and renting a shabby-chic (at best) flat upstairs from a knicherie, Ivy Ames takes her billionaire friend Faith's advice and starts a consulting business to help privileged pre-schoolers get into the city's premier kindergartens. Light on substance yet heavy on laughs, Quinn does a reasonably successful job of following in the well-heeled footsteps of earlier gossip lit standouts such as The Nanny Diaries and The Devil Wears Prada.

A fun, quick read. Some parts made me laugh but others did make me cringe as they were so over the top. But overall an enjoyable book.

Sending to Catsalive from a YBS on BSL.

Entertaining. I'm not sure how Michael could fall in love with Ivy when she was being such a cow over money, but there you go. It was a fun story.

This is one of the best, laugh out loud books I've read in a long time. It can be a little over the top at times, but enjoyable nonetheless.
