Representaion Supposing Books Momzillas
A hilarious and deliciously scathing send-up of motherhood as practiced in the upper echelons of Manhattan society, from the coauthor of The Right Address and Wolves in Chic Clothing.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.

Okay story...predictable. What made it difficult for me to get through was the tone of the narrator/main character. She speaks as if she is in high school ("convo", "fam", etc.) so it was hard to take her seriously. If it wasn't so slangy, it would be much better.
The vocabulary in this book horrific. My language loving heart died a little every time she called something a "sitch" instead of situation. Oh and the intense need to edit the copy was oh, so powerful. I powered through and focused on the entertainment of it all. It was cliche but an entertaining read.
Wow, I just want to go live in the woods and give my kids sticks to play with after reading this book.
hmmmmm...rich, educated white chick is moved by her hedge fund husband from Berkeley to New York, where she tries to fit in with a group of women who are similarly educated but richer and whiter. Hilarity, unfortunately, does not ensue. But there is plenty of whining about how privileged and WASP-Y everyone is, and passage after passage in which the author explains via cutesy anecdotes that she is, really, a much hipper (she takes HER kid to the MOMA!) and also warmer, fuzzier, & more
A silly, light, over the top look into the life of the uber-pampered Upper East Side moms. Jill Kargman takes the circumstances she deals with everyday, changes the names and publishes a good beach read.
since this was the only book I had with me during a recent train ride, I gave it a try. this is exactly the kind of crappy "literature" that gives chick-lit a bad name. The writing was atrocious, her slang usage and ridiculously ill-fitting pop culture references were laughable, but not in a good way. complete and utter suckage.
