Publisher's Summary
New York Times best seller
Good Morning America Buzz pick
From the best-selling author of The Devil Wears Prada and When Life Gives You Lululemons comes a highly entertaining, sharply observed novel about sisters, their perfect lives...and their perfect lies.
“Goes down like an ice-cold guilty pleasure on a hot beach-reading day.” (USA Today)
A seat at the anchor desk of the most-watched morning show. Recognized by millions across the country, thanks in part to her flawless blond highlights and Botox-smoothed skin. An adoring husband and a Princeton-bound daughter. Peyton is that woman. She has it all.
Until...
Skye, her sister, is a stay-at-home mom living in a glitzy suburb of New York. She has degrees from all the right schools and can helicopter-parent with the best of them. But Skye is different from the rest. She’s looking for something real and dreams of a life beyond the PTA and pickup.
Until...
Max, Peyton’s bright and quirky 17-year-old daughter, is poised to kiss her fancy private school goodbye and head off to pursue her dreams in film. She’s waited her entire life for this opportunity.
Until...
One little lie. That’s all it takes. For the illusions to crack. For resentments to surface. Suddenly the grass doesn’t look so green. And they’re left wondering: Will they have what it takes to survive the truth?

couldn't stop listening
My favorite book I've listened to on audible - hands down. The story was scandalous, hilarious and emotional. The narrator read with so much emotion. definitely recommend!

Story is blah and performance and not great
I was really looking forward to this book and have really enjoyed other books from this author. I found the story dragging and the 2 of the 3 main characters a little blah to the point of being sometimes unlikable (Macs being the exception). There doesn't seem to be real growth and the endings of certain story lines are also just blah, to the point of being a little deus ex machina. The narrator was generally Ok, but the voice used for the 6 yr old was beyond grating. All in all, not the summer read I was hoping for.
