How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls

This was a fun, light read. I honestly believe that the book would be better suited for a young adult reader despite the fact that there is a pretty light romantic scene. Still a good book and just right for summer reading.

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.

Like all of zoey deans books, this was amazing. It is a book thats made up of a lot of fluf, but her impeccable writing makes up for that and gices in substanace. A great read!

Nothing brilliant, but a fun entertaining read. This book is not insulting and blatantly predictable like some chick-lit books. I definitely recommend it if you are in the market for a breezy cute story. The story definitely works.

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 sure hope that she will write more adult fiction. Even though I am an adult,I read her teen fiction,but this adult novel is much better.

Cant get enough of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Nicole Richie? HOW TO TEACH FILTHY RICH GIRLS by Zoey Dean might be the key to your rich girl obsessions. But dont let me mislead you, the books about Megan. And shes far from rich. Megan graduated and wanted nothing but the publishing dream--move to New York City, find a job at a prestigious publishing company or magazine, and live her dream. What happened was a crummy job at a tabloid and a huge student load ($75,000 to be exact). And it turns even more sour--she loses her job at the tabloid. Kinda. In the same firing meeting, the editor-in-chief waves Megan a bone: tutor two of the richest heiresses on the Palm Beach, Florida scene so that their SAT scores literally score them a spot at Duke. With little other choice, Megan takes the job and our real story begins. The twins? Seventeen-year-olds Rose and Sage Baker are known for drunken parties and flashing the paparazzi (sound familiar?) and arent so keen on this arrangement. Hell just arranging their social schedule to fit in a little school, isnt on their agenda. Especially when the teacher is a peer who looks like a [gasp!] struggling post-graduate wearing a bunch of thrift store finds. But dont fret, Megans a fighter. The $1500 a week and the possibility of ridding herself of the school loan debt--has her determined if not plain old, scared to NOT make this plan work. HOW TO TEACH FILTHY RICH GIRLS was hilarious. Megan had me in stitches. She is sarcastic, fun, witty, and well... like an every day post-grad girl that is so broke the thought of being well dressed and fed is merely a daydream. Theres a bit-o-Cinderella in the plot (as in happily ever after; ugly girl turns pretty), but dont let that turn you away. Theres more than a few twists that definitely make it giggling fun.

I just couldnt really get into this book.

I really did not enjoy this book. It wasnt the worst thing I have ever read, but it wasnt good. I dont know why I expected anything different.

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