How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls

I really did not enjoy this book. It wasnt the worst thing I have ever read, but it wasnt good. I dont know why I expected anything different.

Cant get enough of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Nicole Richie? HOW TO TEACH FILTHY RICH GIRLS by Zoey Dean might be the key to your rich girl obsessions. But dont let me mislead you, the books about Megan. And shes far from rich. Megan graduated and wanted nothing but the publishing dream--move to New York City, find a job at a prestigious publishing company or magazine, and live her dream. What happened was a crummy job at a tabloid and a huge student load ($75,000 to be exact). And it turns even more sour--she loses her job at the tabloid. Kinda. In the same firing meeting, the editor-in-chief waves Megan a bone: tutor two of the richest heiresses on the Palm Beach, Florida scene so that their SAT scores literally score them a spot at Duke. With little other choice, Megan takes the job and our real story begins. The twins? Seventeen-year-olds Rose and Sage Baker are known for drunken parties and flashing the paparazzi (sound familiar?) and arent so keen on this arrangement. Hell just arranging their social schedule to fit in a little school, isnt on their agenda. Especially when the teacher is a peer who looks like a [gasp!] struggling post-graduate wearing a bunch of thrift store finds. But dont fret, Megans a fighter. The $1500 a week and the possibility of ridding herself of the school loan debt--has her determined if not plain old, scared to NOT make this plan work. HOW TO TEACH FILTHY RICH GIRLS was hilarious. Megan had me in stitches. She is sarcastic, fun, witty, and well... like an every day post-grad girl that is so broke the thought of being well dressed and fed is merely a daydream. Theres a bit-o-Cinderella in the plot (as in happily ever after; ugly girl turns pretty), but dont let that turn you away. Theres more than a few twists that definitely make it giggling fun.

I read this book because I like the author, Zoey Dean as well as the tv show Privledged, which is based on the book. The book did not fail my expectations, but in fact exceeded them. Heart-warming and extremely entertaining, I would recommend this book to any lover of Chick-Lit.

How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls is Chick Lit with capital C and capital L which makes it one of the most delightful books Ive read in a very long time. If it is ever turned into a movie, it will be the most delightful of its kind since Clueless--and one can only hope it will be. Average-girl-wannabe-journalist Maggie Smith moves to Manhattan straight out of Yale, expecting to get a job at one of the big magazines and eliminating her $75,000 debt in no time at all. Unfortunately, real life doesnt work like that, and she is only just scraping by, working at a trashy tabloid, when in the span of two days she is robbed, fired and her apartment burns down. However, as a last favor, her ex-boss makes her an offer she cant refuse. Seventeen-year-old twins Rose and Sage Baker are Palm Beachs version of Paris and Nicole--rich, superficial and never thinking beyond the next party. Maggies challenge is to tutor these two girls and get them into Duke. If she manages this, her debts will be paid off. Teaching girls who do not want to be taught is never easy, so if Maggie wants to pull this one off, she must be able to look the part and act the part. But can you act a part for so long without it becoming part of you? How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls is a lot more substantial than expected at first glance, and I read it in two hours straight, being utterly unable to put it down, and found myself laughing out loud at Zoey Deans masterful plot and witty one-liners. She has a wonderful way with words and manages to create charming characters where you expect to find none. Rose and Sages grandmother is a street-smart and sly elderly woman, willing to take risks for a good cause, and even Rose and Sage themselves--spoiled and bratty as they seem at first--are living proofs that looks can be deceptive. Armchair Interviews says: Quick fun read that gives us hope for spoiled rich girls the world over (or at least in Hollywoodland).

This is a great book, quick and easy read. Perfect for young girls who love fashion and celebrity gossip! Absolutely hilarious, and the ending was AMAZING!! I could seriously read it again :-)

A simple, nice book for the summer... The plot, characters and setting are all nicely created. Not the most original of storylines but I didnt buy it for that. I just wanted a simple read, and I got just what I wanted

Nothing brilliant, but a fun entertaining read. This book is not insulting and blatantly predictable like some chick-lit books. I definitely recommend it if you are in the market for a breezy cute story. The story definitely works.

This is book has twists and turns youll never see coming. You wonder how much bad luck can a girl have. Its funny & romantic and I loved it!

Ive read a few of the A-List series books and enjoyed a couple of them. I thought How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls was going to be more like a typical chick lit book. I was a bit disappointed in that it seemed more like Deans teen books than an adult book. I just wish it could have been written more for the adult crowd than the teenage crowd. With that said, it was still a great book and it was entertaining. If you are a fan of the A-List series, youll probably enjoy reading this book too!

This was a fun, light read. I honestly believe that the book would be better suited for a young adult reader despite the fact that there is a pretty light romantic scene. Still a good book and just right for summer reading.
