Thin, Rich, Pretty

Beth Harbison is yet another favorite author of ours with previous unforgettable books such as Shoe Addicts Anonymousand Secrets of a Shoe Addict,total guilty pleasures! And so we just cannot pass up her newest book called Thin, Rich, Pretty. But first, let's take a look at what others are saying about it:
"Thin, Rich, Pretty is the story of three women who believe that happiness is the next dress size down, the next dollar figure up, or the next appreciative glance from a stranger. But mostly it’s the story of how three women save each other, and show each other the path to true contentment. Told with Beth Harbison’s knack for thirty and fortysomething nostalgia, and heartwarming humor, Thin, Rich, Pretty will strike a chord with any woman who has ever got on the scale, looked in the mirror, or the bank, and said, 'if only…'" - the Publisher

"A fast and fun read by Harbison, sure to appeal to anyone who came of age in the late 1980s." – Library Journal
Must. Read. This.

  1. I'm on pg 107 - sad that women have to be so focused on looks all of their lives, but such is life.

  3. Ch 21 here and a little disappointed. Way too 'cut and dry' for my liking. :/

  4. @Becca - I just finished the book... interesting. My first reaction is to give it 3 out of 5 stars, as it wasn't what I expected. I'll wait until you're done before saying more.

  5. In chapter 14...listening to it is something else. It is nice to hear the difference in the 20 year span. Getting there!

  6. I finished it. I am going to give it a 4 out of 5. It was slow at first. But I like when they took the ring back to Lexi and how life unfolded for all of them after that point and each in their own way found their way in life. And that it wasn't the ring, it was the chain that was the important link.
