The Ivy Chronicles by Karen Quinn

Book Description When turbocharged Park Avenue mom Ivy Ames finds that she’s been downsized from her platinum-card corporate job and her marriage, she swiftly realizes that she’s going to need a whole new way to support herself and her two private-school daughters. So she dreams up a new business—helping upscale New Yorkers get their little darlings into the most exclusive kindergartens in the city. What begins as one woman’s bid to earn a living becomes an everywoman’s tale of midlife reinvention and unexpected romance, set in a looking-glass world where even tots have résumés.

My thoughts
This book was pretty good. I wouldn't give it a *great* rating only because I got too aggravated with Ivy at times. She was being exactly like she was criticizing others for. Thankfully, Ivy changed her ways at the end and realized that she didn't *need* the lifestyle she thought she did. I was also very pleased with what she did with the money she got from Buck McCall.
