Summary
Perfect marriages. Perfect neighbours. Perfect lies.
Everyone is guarding a secret in this picture-perfect town.
When Karolina Hartwell is arrested driving her son home, the headlines don’t tell the full story. It seems nothing will stand in the way of her husband Graham’s political ambition – not even his wife.
Miriam Kagan is convinced her husband Paul is hiding something. But if she digs too deeply, she’s afraid of what might tumble out of the closet.
Emily Charlton is new to Greenwich, but she soon discovers this is a small town built on big lies. And sometimes it takes an outsider to draw them out . . .
*Published in the USA as When Life Gives You Lululemons*

"Lauren Weisberger hilariously skewers affluent suburbia...such a witty, well-observed world." (Jane Green, New York Times best-selling author of The Sunshine Sisters and Falling)

A nice easy book.
This was a nice easy listen. If you want a chicklet for a weekend away it's perfect.

Great story line
This book is exactly what I normally like to listen to because the story was very interesting. I loved how friendships between the women was exactly how it is in real life. This book is a perfect holiday listen or read and I would certainly recommend.

It was "fine"
Quite a bland 2D depiction of women. Very weight obsessed and baby obsessed, and not much more.

very enjoyable
I was initially skeptical about this book as it appeared to be "chic lit", and in some ways it is, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. it was clever and gripping and you really got behind the characters and their plights. It was a good story and a satisfying ending.

Boring
I thought this would be a modern day Jackie Collins or at least, but not so good, Jillie Cooper but no, the plot is very thin, there is no humour; it's best suited for teen magazines. I gave it my best shot, 4 hours before admitting defeat but apparently I can't return it.

Disappointing
Not what I expected at all. Nothing like the depth and characterisation of Devil Wears Prada

Light boring predictable read
Story had potential but ended up predictable. The narrator was for me dreadful. The accent for Carolina was by far the worse. My own fault. Should have listened to the sample first but this book came recommended. Why..I don’t know. Sorry. Not for me.

A light and satisfying listen.
An excellent listen.
This isn’t a book of staggering literary importance but to be fair it doesn’t claim to be or try to be. That said the story is engaging and interesting, it does deal with some serious themes and this is done with wit, sensitivity and steel.
It is a very well written, the story drew me in, the characters were well written in a way that doesn’t patronise the listener. Recommended.
