Way too many bragging nonessential details and GOOD GOD, get to the point! Rich woman problems and got caught buying her kid’s place at Princeton. The only reason I read the whole thing to the end is because the book was clearanced at $4.99 and I don’t like wasting money. Ninjabunnay

Sometimes authors can get too preachy and politically correct also showing their left leaning predilections. I found it difficult to focus on the story because I was clearly a person this author disliked.

My heading says enough.

This book was annoying and predictable. Nothing was surprising or exciting to read within it. The references to overpriced brands and shallow life advice, in nearly every other line, further irritated me. Very disappointing.

Wow! I couldn’t put it down! So good!

Best selling author Lauren Weisberger delivers a surefire hit with Where the Grass is Green and the Girls are Pretty. This straight from the headlines, laugh out loud funny novel skewers both suburban and city life as realistic characters deal with the problems they create. Peyton Marcus, New York morning show anchor (think Savannah Guthrie), sees her carefully curated life begin to fall apart when she reports on the newest college admission bribery scandal. Within hours, her husband Isaac is led away in handcuffs, and she is part of the biggest story on all channels. Her sister Skye has moved her family to Paradise, a suburb full of Lululemoned yoga moms and their tequila importing investment banker husbands. Skye, a veteran of charity work in Uganda, tries to reinvent herself as a helicopter mom but fails. A new project has reenergized her but may be affected by Isaac’s decisions. Also caught up in the whirlwind news story in Max, Peyton’s teenage daughter who didn’t want to attend Princeton until she couldn’t. Free from the Ivy League, she has to discover what she really wants to do instead of rebelling against her parents’ choices for her. The destructive secrets Peyton and Skye are keeping from their husbands and each other will eventually be revealed in a satisfying conclusion. Where the Grass is Green and the Girls are Pretty sparkles with humor and satire. You’ll love it as much as I did! 5 stars. Thank you to NetGalley, Random House and Lauren Weisberger for this ARC.
