Where the Grass Is Green and the Girls Are Pretty by Lauren Weisberger

 

Taking her title Where the Grass Is Green and the Girls Are Pretty from “Paradise City” by Guns ‘N’ Roses, Lauren Weisberger has written a novel that encompasses the recent college admissions scandals.

Isaac Marcus, husband of celebrity news anchor Peyton, is arrested for a college admissions offense on behalf of their daughter Mackenzie, otherwise known as Max. He has put his daughter’s reputation, his wife’s job, and his sister-in-law’s project to help underprivileged girls in jeopardy.

However, the truth is Isaac did not do it, yet he takes the fall to protect Peyton’s career, which makes the seemingly righteous ending seem meaningless.

Lauren Weisberger is the bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada. A graduate of Cornell University, she lives in Connecticut with her family.
