How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls

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.

This is easily one of the worst books Ive ever read. Like another reviewer stated in her review for another book, I dont expect much from chick lit. I want a light, fast, easy read... nothing that is really going to strain my brain. However, this novel is so unrealistic and dumb I feel like feeding it into the shredder. Im an avid reader and my rules for fiction are simple...the most fantastical things can happen, as long as they make sense within the context of the world the author has created. A filthy, dripping rich grandmother hiring some wet-behind-the-ears kid as an emergency tutor to her spoiled teenager grandchildren does not make sense. Such a woman, with tons of money at her disposal, would hire an experienced tutor who has like, handled the Olsen twins. Why would she hire Megan, at the recommendation of her friend who just fired the girl because she had an attitude problem? Which brings me to the character of the protagnonist...shallow, judgmental, immature, stupid, spoiled...these adjectives dont even begin to cover it. The reality is all of us are supposed to pay our dues by working crappy jobs in the real world, and were supposed to be sympathetic to the heroine who rolls her eyes and doesnt take it seriously? And believe that the woman who fires her for this is going to recommend her to be a tutor to spoiled heiresses? Please. That would never happen. Oh, I could go on...I think the thing that bothers me the most is this novel is essentially a poor rip-off of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA. We have the jaded (supposedly) smart heroine who longs to be taken seriously as a writer and work at THE NEW YORKER; we have the crappy job that could be the key to her hearts desire if she can stick it out, we have the devilishly handsome and rich love interest who is trying to take her away, the horrible spoiled boss (in this case, the twins)even the gay fair godmother who lends her exciting outfits so she can pretend to fit into the Palm Beach world. And just as an aside, I dont care much for the drag queen gay cook who just happens to be her size. ARE YOU KIDDING? Not to mention that statistically speaking, most drag queens are straight, but why not take advantage of a stereotype? My final word...if you must read it, borrow it from the library or a friend. Otherwise, do youself a favor, and skip it.

I wanted to read this book because I saw the TV series Priviledge. I actually liked the book much better than the TV series. Megan Smith is asked to tudor two wealthy teanagers but when they are mean to her, she decides to write a book about how horrible they really are. As she gets to know them, she realizes that they are not horrible. There is a little of a pretty woman / cinderella theme and sort of a love triangle. I was surprised when I googled Zoey Dean that according to google she is actually a writting team but that wont stop me from checking out more books written by Zoey.

Great book fun to read and gives a little insight to sisterly love. Your sister should be your best friend

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

this book actually serves as a great template for crafting a book, chapter by chapter. humorous story and fun reading. a quick read.
