Sisters finding their own way

Then there grandmother does something to change them. She cuts them off. She used to give them five or six figure checks for Christmas for them to blow, but instead she desides to hand over their clubs to the managers and make them actually work to know what real life is like. After some funny setbacks London and Maddy decide to do something different. Will it work out? Will they be better people? Read The Perils of Sisterhood

Beware of the Purse Dog Princesses

Though actually, I don't think any purse dogs *were* featured in the book. If you're fascinated by trendy parties and the misdeeds of spoiled celebrities, you'll probably get a kick out of this book. IMO, it was an interesting world to visit, even if I wouldn't want to live there. (No matter how big my annual check was!) While the sisters started and stayed rather unlikeable quite far into the book, by the end they showed definite signs of becoming human. I thought Gamma Angel was great, though I did wonder what took her so long to put her foot (and pen) down. At least in fiction, there's hope that ANYONE can turn her life around!

Look out Paris!

I think that this book is wonderfully written. Amy obviously has a great sense of humor. There are many times this book made me laugh out loud. The circumstances these girls get themselves into are hysterical. Even though they are spoiled, you find them charming and you want to root for them. The ending is somewhat predictable, but getting there is fun and unpredictable. I can't wait to read more books by Amy. I felt this book was just the right mix of humor, love and passion for doing the right thing. I will miss you La Mira's, Amy, keep up the good work! If you like Jane Green, or just love chik lit novels, you'll love this book!
