Klappentext If you thought Wall Street was cut-throat, wait till to you meet the Kelly-bag-toting, Chanel-wearing mothers of New York's Upper East Side… When Hannah's husband Josh gets offered a job at an investment bank, she's happy to abandon their cozy West Coast life for the bright lights of the Big Apple. But motherhood in Manhattan is a whole different ball-game – in fact, for the pampered women of the city's wealthiest families, it's practically an Olympic sport. In a world where how you look is everything, Hannah finds herself adrift in a sea of ’Reximoms (mothers who drop the baby weight in two weeks or less), Nannyjackers (mothers who try to steal other people's nannies) and Momsicles (cold-hearted mothers who never cuddle their kids). Lonely and overwhelmed, when an old flame re-enters her life who can blame her for wondering what might have been, in this brilliantly funny novel about love, motherhood and staying sane.
