When turbocharged Park Avenue mom Ivy Ames finds that she’s been downsized from her platinum-card 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. So she dreams up a new business—helping upscale New Yorkers get their little darlings into the most exclusive kindergartens in the city. What begins as one woman’s bid to earn a living becomes an everywoman’s tale of midlife reinvention and unexpected romance, set in a looking-glass world where even tots have résumés.

    This title was on My Wishlist because it was a Richard and Judy recommended Summer Read for 2005. At first I could not understand why such an irritating story of people with more money than sense even made it on to that list. I relaxed as I got further into the book, stopped taking it seriously and it provided me with a few laughs if nothing else. It is well written but was just not for me. I did finish it but would be unable to recommend it as more than a OK read.
