APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The hugely entertaining eighth novel from the author of The Devil Wears Prada draws on real-life headlines—the US college admissions scandal—to explore the fragility of seemingly perfect lives. Peyton is a star of Manhattan, anchor of New York’s best-loved morning show. However, multiple lives are upended when her husband is arrested for paying a college fixer to smooth their daughter Max’s entry into Princeton. The scandal particularly threatens to destroy the dreams of Skye, Peyton’s warm-hearted sister who harbours a deep secret while living a more grounded existence in NY suburb Paradise. Weisberger drops us vividly into New York’s socialite and suburban lifestyles, delivering plenty of suspense and tension as she explores privilege, family and the consequences of owning—or not owning—your mistakes. It’s a zippy read that will keep you hooked all the way to its satisfying ending.
