How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls

I loved this book and found myself really enamoured of the heroine. She turns a bad job into a once in a lifetime experience. She is likable, funny, and friendly. The spoiled twins are believable (think Paris and Nicole), The whole set up is creative and Dean writes a fast paced and entertaining novel. I am so glad I came across this one as I know I will read it over and over. Very hip, cool, chic, engaging, and chick lit-ish. Good clean novel for ladies who love glamour, studious folks, romance, tabloids, and Cinderella stories. Amazing!!!!!!

This was my first book by Zoey Dean and I really enjoyed reading it. Its a funny entertaining story with many twists that keep the reader interested.

I sure hope that she will write more adult fiction. Even though I am an adult,I read her teen fiction,but this adult novel is much better.

Like all of zoey deans books, this was amazing. It is a book thats made up of a lot of fluf, but her impeccable writing makes up for that and gices in substanace. A great read!

The book was funny and the scenarios rang true for assistants. Taylor was not the most sympathetic of characters, but I was invested in her story and thought it unfolded well. Though this book did rely on some fairly improbable coincidences, and I certainly think the roommate was way quirkier than necessary, overall the book rose above others in the genre because of quality writing and an interesting premise. Definitely a good summer read.

Zoey Dean did it again, I have to honestly say this is a more realistic but entertaining book then her usual A - List novels. This was a very fun book to read especially because it was in first person. I would highly recommend this book to the next person. I hope that Zoey continues to write books that take you through the characters emotions and you honestly feel what Meagan is feeling.

I just couldnt really get into this book.

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.

Skip this if you are looking for a chick lit heroine who is actually smart. Megan certainly isnt. No perceptive insights into the world of the fabulously wealthy, no witty asides, no scintillating repartee. Instead, you have author Zoey Dane constantly reminding readers of Megans magna cum laude dual degree from Yale. I guess she has to, because there is no indication otherwise that Megan has more than average intelligence. Danes one attempt -Megans suggestion of an article on the possible link between breast cancer and the pill, is laughable. A) Megan works for a gossip rag. B) Even if Megan hadnt a clue about the subject, a modicum of research would have corrected her. Instead, Megan the journalist offers the article idea after reading a single article on hormone replacement therapy. C) In the one incident of unplanned sex on the beach, there was no mention of condoms, so I was left to conclude that smart Megan was on the pill despite thinking it can cause her breast cancer. By the way, this article proposal of Megans is called intelligent and ballsy. *sigh* Also skip this one if the following plot line makes you grimace: Debra, Megans editor tells her you remind me of me at your age and then sends Megan to Palm Beach, partly thinking Megan was perfect for her son. On the otherhand, go ahead and buy the book if it appeals to you to read that the fabulously rich dine on champagne* and caviar (without the carb loaded crackers) everyday and that with a hair iron, spackling, and couture gowns, a sows ear can be turned into a silk purse. The best parts of the book were the multiple choice questions which preface the chapters. *Champagne is full of carbs. But I guess Zoey Dane doesnt know that.

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.
