How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls

okay, it could be that my brain is on overload from the heavy things i ve been reading lately or it could be that i m feeling particularly sappy whatever the reason is, i think this is one of my new favorite chicklit books EVER poor little megan smith, yale graduate, is up to her ears in debt she s living in new york, she s got a boyfriend and a roommate and then her apartment goes up in smoke literally so she ends up in palm beach with the odd job of getting two twin socialites, who make lindsa [...]

The I read chick lit, the I realize how much I don t care for it Sometimes it seems as though all the plots are the same, and all the narrators the same person Of course, all that isn t the fault of this book To be fair, it s a reasonably nice example of the genre The characters are for the most part better fleshed out than your typical chick lit The story line is fluffy, but it is at least somewhat believable I liked the main character, and I appreciated that she seemed to grow during the cou [...]

I read this book because it was on my TBR list I forgot how I found out about it , and I was craving some chick lit I thought the storyline was great, but the time frame wasn t long enough Megan realistically wouldn t have been able to go through that many changes in just nine weeks Parts of it didn t feel very realistic The author made a lot of references to pop culture, things that celebrities had done in the last year or two Although I enjoyed them, I don t think they ll hold the same meaning [...]

Before reading this book, I had just read two books that were both very serious and dealt with heavy subject matters which had left me feeling a bit drained After finishing those books I needed something light and fluffy and perk me back up a bit and as I was a fan of the show that was based on this book, I figured it would be a safe bet I was definitely right This was the book equivalent of candy floss It was light, fluffy, colourful, sweet, and fun, with little substance I will admit that I de [...]

I had actually only gotten this book because of the TV show based on it, Privileged And although the show had its problems, ultimately, I liked its short lived run much better than the book Mainly because it s what I like to call a humiliation conga book, which then turns into the poor person realizes horrible rich people who publicly embarrassed her are actually smart and sweet slash protagonist acts like a horrible person book.This admittedly doesn t sound like I would ve given it three stars, [...]

This book is a guilty pleasure, like reading celebrity tell alls at the nail salon or watching people s escapades on reality tv shows But when life gets heavy, its good to sometimes get away with a fluffy, silly book ahh, calgon, take me awwaaayy First the bad news this book treads in the well worn footsteps of many many previous chick lit books The book s premise plucky heroine P.H who s down on her luck is employed by the mega rich evil dead, P.H experiences travails and humiliations at the ha [...]

Okay, so I ve liked some chick lit in the past, what can I say But maybe I am growing out of this phase because i just thought this book was nothing special same old story girl is a journalist, has a boyfriend, lives in NYC, something bad happens she s thrown into a crazy predicament oh no , she s attracted to another guy besides her boyfriend what to do , but in the end everything turns out okay, she gets the right guy, all her debts are paid off or she s got the dream job life, etc all with de [...]

SO DIFFERENT FROM THE TV SHOW Which is a good thing, because this was pretty terrible And even though it was meant to be all moralistic about reverse snobbery, the book ended up being all reverse reverse snobbery If that makes any sense And Marcus was the biggest gay fairygodmother stereotype ever There was a twisty bit at the very end that I liked, and I enjoyed all the fake SAT questions But I do not think that is enough for me to give it than one star Also, I wanted to read Megan s article I [...]

This book has so many twists and turns I really enjoyed as it incorporates intelligence, culture, and fashion all in one I finished reading it at the beach today and I couldn t put it down even though I got cold as the marine layer covered the sun Instead of hopping on Pinky my bike and riding home quickly, I wrapped a towel around me to keep warm to finish it I definitely will be checking out other books that this author has written.

After reading a number of much serious books, this light frothy novel called to me from the shelves of the library I m not crazy about the term chick lit, because it s too broadly applied to a lot of books by womenbut if the book has a rags to riches story, including fashion, a plainish woman who suddenly becomes gorgeous and meets the man of her dreams, and gets the job of her dreams at the endyou ve got chick lit The career is usually journalism or marketing A supposedly brilliant Yale grad w [...]

If you ask me how to teach a filthy rich girls, i ll come up with an idea isolate them in a jail cell and let them have a bitter taste of life But Zoey Dean had another idea in mind Or rather another cliche Yes cliche about a girl who s life turning upside down when she had offered to teach the most bimbotic twins in the world how to pass their SAT test in order to get their trustfunds back She turned into the likes of the twins, met another amazing boy and fell in love, forgetting her love life [...]

I first started watching the TV show and then thought I would try out the book I love the TV show, which I think made me really like the book The book and TV show is about a college graduate, Megan, that just can seem to get the perfect job yet, so she ends up tutoring two twins that live in palm beach, and they are in fact very rich The twins absolutely hate their new tutor but as Megan begins to work with them they start to build a good relationship The TV show was amazing and I can t believe [...]

I m not sure what I thought of this I was thinking it was ok until I realized how many things were there that I don t like in books bad language, sex mostly just in the beginning , the main character pretending to be someone she isn t and lying I did like how she owned up to things in the end and even matured a bit.

O.K I changed my mind That was the corniest book I had ever read in my 15 almost 16 years of life By the end, I was seriously gagging I was shocked.In the beginning it seems fined then it get s ridiculous And lastly, what I found the most disappointing was the fact that it was nothing like the show, and the show is really great So sad.

I really liked this book I have never read this author but picked up the book based on the cover I know I read it in 2 days, it was cute, made me laugh and I really wanted to see how it ended I just picked up my second novel of this author, then I will start on the A list series.

Cute read finished the book in about 2 days.

This just reminded me why I cant stand chick lit I thought this would be an easy read for the gyms an easy read and just awful.

Nu m a teptam, dar chiar mi a pl cut mult Are un deznod m nt care era de a teptat, ns restul c r ii e chiar super Are o tem aproximativ realist , ceea ce este benefic Mi ar fi pl cut o descoasere mai am nun it a p r ii sentimentale a gemenelor, ns i al trecutului lor Dar, per total, e o carte super, foarte u or de citit, pentru care merit s i rupi o bucat din timp.

This book was way better than I expected it to be seeing as I hated the a list series The end was kind of abrupt and cheesy after all the progression throughout the book but I liked it It was a good story I enjoyed the time I spent reading it.

I miss the show so much

I finished it and there were whitty parts But silly and unrealistic No bridget jones, which is likely how I got the recommendation Maybe YA

No new ground broken here, but it was a quick and enjoyable read.

I decided to read this because I had liked the show Privileged I actually liked the book much better than the show Megan gets a job as a tutor for 2 wealthy girls and decides to write an expose when she thinks they are horrible people but then she gets to know them There is kind of a Cinderella theme with out the evil step mother and step sisters.

Reason for the Book s Selection In terms of target audience, the book s genre falls slightly above young adult and slightly below typical Chick lit, so I picked it up for something different to read Plot Megan Smith owes 75,000 in student loans Yale and is fired from her first job among other things when the opportunity to tutor some wealthy and snotty Palm Beach teenagers falls into her lap Characterization In my opinion, the protagonist is not particularly likeable or loveable, but she does re [...]
