Crimes Against a Book Club

By Kathy Cooperman

"Lighthearted...You'll speed through this read." --Real Simple

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.

Fun read

I liked that the characters grew from Ann going back to teaching to Valerie painting again. It was a little harsh with the rich ladies and depicting them living empty lives. Overall I really liked Annie and Sarah.
