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.

The Ivy Chronicles
A completely stupid book, that I can not believe I finished. I think I thought it would get better....it didn't. I was baffled at the outrage that she had for her boyfriend (the author--I can't remember his name) that he would write about her and not tell her; yet, she did the same thing with her clients. And how inconsistent is it that she goes to her boyfriend's apartment in the same building and has to check her email, when she see the book. Furthermore, after complaining and complaining about how unsafe the neighborhood is, she then make a comment about how she never locks her doors---oh, it sounds safe. Maybe I wouldn't have cared about the sex scenes if the book was good, but in this case I was surprised at how easily she would sleep with anyone (well sleep is relative) with both of her boyfriends and the descriptions I had to read of it. Hated it.
