In the tradition of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, recent college graduate Megan Smith heads to New York City to work for a literary magazine and ends up somewhere less ideal. Despite her editor's warning, Megan tries to add more serious journalism articles to the gossip magazine where she's employed, at least until the day she loses her job a few months before Christmas.

Megan's apartment building catches on fire the same day, leaving her jobless and temporarily homeless. Her boss offers her an opportunity to tutor a friend's children, and it isn't until Megan arrives in Palm Beach, Florida, that she recognizes the famous "Baker Twins" from the entertainment news. Sage and Rose Baker are planning to inherit millions of dollars on their 18th birthday next year, but their cosmetic-industry guru grandmother has added a codicil to their trust fund. The girls must pass the SAT exam and get into Duke University, or else they will inherit nothing.

Although the twins sabotage her every move, Megan is determined to get them into college, since her bonus paycheck would pay off her student loans. By pretending to be part of the wealthy and snobbish elite, Megan finally befriends Sage and Rose and they begin study sessions in earnest. Megan has to get creative to keep the girls on track, but she must figure out HOW TO TEACH FILTHY RICH GIRLS before she turns into one herself!

Bestselling author Zoey Dean is best known for her A- List novels about the scandalous lives of rich and famous teens in Beverly Hills, California. In her first novel for adults, she brings an outsider into the lives of the rich and famous, with hilarious and heartfelt results. Although Megan is only a few years older than the teens she tutors, her adult perspective is invaluable in understanding the girls. The characters are believable in a setting that is no more implausible than any other book about lifestyles of the extremely wealthy. Dean adds a unique spin on standardized test study sessions that many readers will appreciate, and while the book won't serve as a manual for incoming teachers, it will do quite nicely for a fabulous summer read.
