When life gives you Lululemons : a novel

Weisberger, Lauren 1977- (author.).

Summary:

Welcome to Greenwich, Connecticut, where the lawns and the women are perfectly manicured, the Tito's and sodas are extra strong, and everyone has something to say about the infamous new neighbor. Let's be clear: Emily Charlton, Miranda Priestly's ex-assistant, does not do the suburbs. She is working in Hollywood as an image consultant to the stars. But recently, Emily has lost a few clients. She's hopeless with social media. The new guard is nipping at her heels. She needs a big opportunity and she needs it now. Enter Karolina Hartwell, as A-list as they come. She's the former face of L'Oreal. A mega-supermodel recognized the world over. And now the gorgeous wife of the newly elected senator from New York who also has his eye on the presidency. It's all very Kennedy-esque, right down to the public philandering and Karolina's arrest for a DUI, with a Suburban full of other people's children. So it is that Emily, the scorned Karolina, and their mutual friend Miriam, a powerful attorney turned stay-at-home suburban mom, band together to not only navigate the social land mines of suburban Greenwich but to win back the hearts of the American public. Along the way, an indispensable ally emerges in one Miranda Priestly.
