Very uneven. I felt like if 1/2 of the book had been cut out it would have been a fun read.

A quick, fun read by the same author of Legally Blonde. This book is about a Texas socialite (Pippa) about to be married to another Texan of high social standing. The moms are nightmares, taking over everything. Something goes wrong and Pippa has to fend for herself from there on out...unless she can get some sort of diploma. The majority of the book is her adventures in trying to obtain a diploma. Not a favorite book of mine, but I did enjoy it.

Pretty entertaining. The South + Meet the Parents + that movie where the gay best friend is the baby daddy slash My Best Friend's Wedding + Twelfth Night. It's a complicated formula, but a nice long laugh-out-loud read. Enjoyed this a lot more than "Family Trust."

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Yes, it is quite unrealistic in places, and yes, it's rather shallow. But if you're a fan of over-the-top chick-lit then you will enjoy this. Although I found myself thinking in places "This would never happen in real life" I was laughing out loud constantly (and reminding myself that, well, this is set in the USA and maybe this situation *is* possible) and quite frankly, I think the world needs more books that have us giggling every few pages! I hope that Amanda Brown writes more books and I will definitely be having a look at Janice Weber's novels. This is a great pick-me-up book for when you're in need of some brain candy. 7/10

I laughed and laughed as I read this book. The main character has to complete a college degree of any form to gain her inheritance. The situations that she goes through are hilarious. My sister currently has my copy of this book, but it's worth reading. It would make a great summer read by the pool/beach.

Genre: lives of the rich and spoiled, different schools
Summary: Pippa Walker walks out of the Texan wedding of the century. Disowned by her mother, and a stipulation in her grandfather's will, Pippa must attend a school and get some type of degree before she can inherit. Dodging paparazzi and media attention, Pippa bounces from traffic school, matchmaking school, clown school and majordomo school to earn her diploma and earn her inheritance.
Response: This was a book that I remembered reading years ago, but I couldn't remember the title or the author, just random snippets of the plot, like when she learns how to make a J-turn stunt driving or the fact that she wore a mustache, or when she danced with a Russian circus bear. Google any of those terms and you won't find the book. But those were the reason why I wanted to try to find the book and read it again. I really liked this book. Pippa is definitely spoiled, but she is sweet and has a big heart. I love the hijinks that she gets into. It seems improbable, but it's all good fun.
