Where the Grass Is Green and the Girls Are Pretty
BY LAUREN WEISBERGER
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • GOOD MORNING AMERICA BUZZ PICK • From the bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada and When Life Gives You Lululemons comes a highly entertaining, sharply observed novel about sisters, their perfect lives . . . and their perfect lies.
A seat at the anchor desk of the most-watched morning show. Recognized by millions across the country, thanks in part to her flawless blond highlights and Botox-smoothed skin. An adoring husband and a Princeton-bound daughter. Peyton is that woman. She has it all.
Until . . .
Skye, her sister, is a stay-at-home mom living in a glitzy suburb of New York. She has degrees from all the right schools and can helicopter-parent with the best of them. But Skye is different from the rest. She’s looking for something real and dreams of a life beyond the PTA and pickup.
Until . . .
Max, Peyton’s bright and quirky seventeen-year-old daughter, is poised to kiss her fancy private school goodbye and head off to pursue her dreams in film. She’s waited her entire life for this opportunity.
Until . . .
One little lie. That’s all it takes. For the illusions to crack. For resentments to surface. Suddenly the grass doesn’t look so green. And they’re left wondering: will they have what it takes to survive the truth?

Praise for Where the Grass Is Green and the Girls Are Pretty:
“Goes down like an ice-cold guilty pleasure on a hot beach-reading day.”—USA Today
-
“Delicious . . . Underneath the shiny surface, both [When Life Gives You] Lululemons and [The Devil Wears] Prada are exploring what it’s like to be a woman buffeted by conflicting messages about career, relationships and motherhood.”—Lisa Scottoline, The Washington Post
-
“Another fantastic read . . . a heap of delicious drama.”—Bustle
My Review:
5 Stars. Lauren Weisberger does it again with this newest book. Even the perfect family who has it all can have it all come crashing down. In the realistic novel, it tells the story of secrets, scandals, and lies. A father who has been arrested for a college admissions scam (oooohhhh doesn't that sound familiar) where he tried to buy his daughter's way into Princeton. I was incredibly vocal while reading this and was told I needed to leave the room for being "too loud while reading". If you want a page-turning summer read - this is the book to get. Flaws humans at their best.
