CRIMES AGAINST A BOOK CLUB by Kathy Cooperman is a fun,
quick read that has a strong focus on
friendship. Annie moves to California and is invited to
join a book club with the wealthy people who live in her
new neighborhood. There she meets many of the wives that
all live within her community including Dawn. Not long
after Annie arrives in town she learns that her son has
autism and she needs $84,000 to pay for his therapy. This
comes as a shock to her, both the disease and the cost of
Oscar's medical care. Not sure what to do, she goes out
with her friend Sarah to try get away from all that is
going on in her live for a few hours.
While out with her
friend she notices that many woman pay thousands of
dollars for face cream that promises to make them look
more youthful. Annie has an idea to use her background in
chemistry to come up with a face cream of her own. A face
cream she could sell that would help her with her son's
medical bills. Her friend Sarah is also in debt because
she has spent thousands of dollars on IVF and fertility
treatments all while working long hours as a lawyer.
Together they come up with a plan. Annie will develop the
face cream and Sarah will use her beautiful looks and
background in public speaking to sell their product. The
face cream is an instant hit with the woman in their
community and soon they are making loads of money. What
can go wrong with their recent popular face cream? What will
happen when someone who is jealous
tries to copy the face cream and has it tested? You will
have to read CRIMES AGAINST A BOOK CLUB to find out how it
all ends. You might be surprised!
Best friends Annie and Sarah need cash—fast. Sarah, a
beautiful, successful lawyer, wants nothing more than to
have a baby. But balancing IVF treatments with a grueling
eighty-hour workweek is no walk in the park. Meanwhile,
Annie, a Harvard-grad chemist recently transplanted to
Southern California, is cutting coupons to afford her young
autistic son’s expensive therapy.
Desperate, the two friends come up with a brilliant plan:
they’ll combine Sarah’s looks and Annie’s brains to sell a
“luxury” antiaging face cream to the wealthy, fading
beauties in Annie’s La Jolla book club. The scheme seems
innocent enough, until Annie decides to add a special—and
oh-so-illegal—ingredient that could bring their whole
operation crashing to the ground.
Hilarious, intelligent, and warm, Crimes Against a Book
Club is a delightful look at the lengths women will go
to fend for their families and for one another.
