Lydia's entire world revolves around her children, Erin and Thomas. Her best friends (Mimi, Blair, and Annelise) are the mothers of her daughter's best friends (Rachel, Blair, and Elise). The girls are popular at the Alden School, and life is good. Until the girls stop being best friends. Then Lydia's at a loss: she doesn't know how to deal with her daughter's sudden unpopularity and her own status as the unpopular girl's mother.
At the beginning, I couldn't stand Lydia and her dreadfully boring descriptions of the meritocracy versus the aristocracy in DC and at the Alden School. How silly and full of herself, I thought. But I was sucked into this book. I was up until 1am devouring this novel. Thoroughly entertaining (in an empty sort of way).
