When she loses her high-powered job, her husband and her plush Park Avenue apartment in one afternoon, Ivy Ames emerges broken but unbowed. The newly single mother-of-two picks herself up, dusts herself down and reinvents herself as a private school admissions advisor. But Ivy has no idea what she's let herself in for. In a parent-eat-parent world where even four-year-olds have CVs, Ivy is driven to lengths she'd never dreamed of to satisfy those well-heeled clients who'll do literally anything to get their little darlings into the A-list schools. Fast paced, feel good and very, very funny, this deliciously over-the- top tale of mid-life reinvention and unexpected romance will appeal to anyone who has ever lost all they hold dear and had to start over again.

A great book recommended by a friend. An easy to read story with likeable characters that kept me turning the pages quickly, eager to know what happened next.

Really light-hearted, funny book. Serious undertones in places, but it has a happy ending. I''m a sucker for happy endings. Would read Karen Quinn''s books again if any came my way.

I got this ages ago but it's lying in a large pile of books still to be read!

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Great easy-going read! Once I got round to reading it, I finished it within a few weeks. Would definately read her books again.

Passed on to a colleague at work.
