Sarah's pick: The Secret Life Of A Slummy Mummy

all the times you a) stalked someone else's nanny b) had too much wine
and Googled your exes c) fed your children potato chips for dinner,
this funny British book vindicates: you are an angel. Find it at www.chapters.indigo.ca
Maria's pick: Maneater by Gigi Levangie Grazer
Everything I need to know about the L.A. dating scene, I learned from Maneater.
Penned by the one-time wife of Hollywood uber-producer Brian Grazer,
the story follows anti-hero Clarissa Alpert as she aggressively tries
to bag a Mr. Rich. But in image-is-everything L.A., even the shrewd
Clarissa has trouble separating the (poor) boys from the (loaded) men.

Tara's pick: Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger
Hot off the press from the gal who brought us The Devil Wears Prada
comes another guilty pleasure filled with the dating dilemmas of
today's twenty-something Manhattan beauties. There's plenty of hot-spot
name dropping, plus we couldn't get enough of the Brazilian socialite
whose "Rules" are sure to add more than a little spice to your summer
escapades. Find it at www.chapters.indigo.ca
Julie's pick: Love Is Not Enough: A Smart Woman's Guide to Making (and Keeping) Money
by Merryn Somerset Webb
Before
Whelan heads off to York's MBA program this September, she's putting
money before men. Webb's sharp and brutally honest book is as
entertaining as it is understandable. Feminism, finances and chapters
like "Prince Charming Isn't Coming," urge ladies to take notice of
their phone bill and dismiss the "boots are an investment!" mentality.

Marianne's pick: How to Be Single by Liz Tuccillo
Written by He's Just Not That Into You co-author and Sex in the City
writer Liz Tuccillo, you'll laugh and cry as an ever-single gal travels
the world interviewing women like herself. But don't let the boyfriend
see it, he'll start to worry. Find it at www.chapters.indigo.ca
