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?
Where the Grass Is Green and the Girls Are Pretty is highly entertaining and completely addictive. With its clever title, this book is witty and indulgent.
Weisberger's latest is about two sisters perfect lives and their perfect lies. Peyton and Skye are very different, but equally as intriguing. Inspired by her own younger sister and its ripped from the headlines plot, this novel is a comment on entitlement, helicopter parenting, and the expectations that are placed on women (even by themselves) to maintain their youthful appearance—why don't women just age gracefully anymore?
Perfect for discussing with your girlfriends, or mom groups, over your favourite cocktails! Cheers, Lauren!
