I enjoyed it Fionn. I neither loved nor hated the main character but I really had to laugh at some of the things. It was a great read.
The other books can be passed around too , most of them I got from others here on the site

any one interested in the ivy chronicles by Karen Quinn. I have it pass on. its being made into a film by the way. sarah jessica parker is rumoured to be in it!! here s the synopsis if any one is interested.
When turbocharged Park Avenue mom Ivy Ames finds she's been downsized from her high-powered corporate job and her marriage, she swiftly realizes that she's going to need a whole new way to support herself and her two private-school daughters. At first she does the obvious thing: she panics. Then she decides to put her years of marketing savvy to work and dreams up a brilliant new business - helping upscale New Yorkers get their little darlings into the most exclusive kindergartens in the city.
Ivy enters a parent-eat-parent world where the egos are directly proportional to their owners' enormous incomes, peopled by her only-in-Manhattan clients, including:
- Lilith Radmore-Stein, a newspaper mogul who is willing risk her entire empire in a demented effort to get her son admitted to Harvard Day
- Omar Kutcher ("Kutcher the Butcher"), a cold-blooded mob boss who seeks Ivy's counsel on whether to bump off or pay off the powers-that-be to get his "little pistol" into the city's best all-girls Catholic school
- Stu Needleman, Ivy's most obnoxious client, who threatens to ruin her if she won't help his four-year-old unibrowed daughter cheat on her kindergarten entrance exam
- Willow Bliss and Tiny Herrera, the biracial lesbian parents of an adopted wheelchair-bound black child who is the "triple crown of diversity" that every school will covet
From the backstabbers of corporate America to the leading toddlers of Fifth Avenue, The Ivy Chronicles is more than an insider's look at this elite and utterly preposterous universe. It is also a tale of midlife reinvention and unexpected romance - for anyone who has ever lost what she holds dear and had to start over again
there are comments in the review section of this forum.

Jeepers, that was quick! Who was your favourite character? I liked the guy in the middle house, Dan was his name I think. But I'm not too sure about how his life ended up. I would have liked more explanation about how he decided to move forward.

I liked the couple that were trying/hoping to have a baby that had his mother living with him. I kept forgetting who lived where and what house number they had. Can't tell you here how it ended with Dan

Post by megan on Oct 6, 2008 8:15:03 GMT
Thanks Claire. I remember how Dan's life ended up I just would have like to read more about the choice he made. The mother in law in the last house was brilliantly written - what a witch!
