Another chick lit. I decided to read it because I felt I lack this kind of literature lately - too much of criminal stories ;) And besides - the description looks quite nice.
The book is written nicely, it's fast and easy reading. It's a story of Hannah, her husband and 2 years old daughter, who moved from West Cost to the East Cost - to New York. Josh is spending whole days in his new company and Hannah is trying to find herslf in such a new situation and new place. Thanks to their financial status they're landing in the heart of the city - in Manhattan. But they are still not included into "class A" - well, they can't be, if they are able to buy just the 1,3 million $ appartmanet :p
Hannah gets a "helper" in settling down there - Bee, wife of Parker, Josh' best friend. Thanks to Bee, Hannah has an opportunity to meet other mothers from Manhattan, get to know the "rules of the game", check how the daily routine looks like. But she is not totally happy about the life style there and is trying to find her own way between Momzillas. Would it be possible? Is she able to swim against the stream? Is her relationship strong enough for that?
The book is written quite nice, but the end is - in my opinion - just too sweet. Like movies in a Hollywood style ;) Besides, I'm still wondering - is it for real? Even if I know that such a life style happens much more often than I woul even expect. But still it's hard to believe for me that someone, while going for 10 days of holidays is renting a company to renovate a child room in the hotel and to create there a copy of the child room from their home, just for a small amount of money (like 10 000 $), it's just crazy...
To sum up - it's nice for reading and relaxing. Nice main characters, some bad Momzillas, funny stories.
