The Ivy Chronicles by Karen Quinn
3.0
The book follows the ups and downs in the life of Ivy Ames following her sacking from her high-flying New York job and the discovery of her husband's unfaithfulness. Ames sets up a consultancy helping Manhattan's rich and powerful get their beloved children into one of the top private kindergarten schools while juggling the lives and needs of her own 2 children, recently out of private school themselves, and a downsizing move to a less salubrious area of town.
This book is in the chick lit vein and certainly won't win any literature prizes. However it is an entertaining read, with enough romance, skull-duggery and interesting characters to keep the pages turning.
