How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls

Megan Smith lives in NYC and works as a secretary for a fashion magazine doing captions for photos. She would rather be working for a more well respected magazine, but stays put. That is until she gets fired. Her boss tells her that she is is not suited for that kind of job. Her boss tells her that she has a job lined up for her working in Florida and that it would help her money wise (she has massive college debt). Megan flies down to Florida, not knowing who she was going to work for, but was told to read a magazine with an article in it about the spoiled rotten grandchildren of a French woman who made billions marketing skin and hair care products. The grandchildren (twins) need to be tutored so that they can be accepted into Duke University before they get their inheritance The twins Rose and Sage do not want to have anything to do with Megan at first, thinking that they will not need Megan since they will be big stars, but that is soon proven wrong. They decide to do the work and in the process all thing learn things about themselves and find love in along the way.

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.

This is a great book, quick and easy read. Perfect for young girls who love fashion and celebrity gossip! Absolutely hilarious, and the ending was AMAZING!! I could seriously read it again :-)

A simple, nice book for the summer... The plot, characters and setting are all nicely created. Not the most original of storylines but I didnt buy it for that. I just wanted a simple read, and I got just what I wanted

Zoey Dean did it again, I have to honestly say this is a more realistic but entertaining book then her usual A - List novels. This was a very fun book to read especially because it was in first person. I would highly recommend this book to the next person. I hope that Zoey continues to write books that take you through the characters emotions and you honestly feel what Meagan is feeling.

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

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.

After failing to make it in New York, Megan Smith wonders if she can make it anywhere. However, she buys time when she accepts a deal with the wealthy Baker matriarch. She will receive $1500 a week for tutoring the infamous party animals, her seventeen years old twin granddaughters, Sage and Rose, so that they score an acceptable passing SAT marks. The siblings have the incentive of inheriting $84 million if they succeed, but are not interested in boring book learning. If by some miracle the twins are accepted by their late parents alma mater Duke and it is not the first sign of the End of Days, Megan receives a $75000 bonus. Megan and the twins behave like enemy combatants and the siblings reject any tutoring time that interferes with partying. They also demand Megan change her attitude by showing she cares beyond just a paycheck. As they argue and learn, Megan thinks she might make lot money by writing a book on her adventures with the Bad Baker brats. This is an amusing coming of age tale, but not so much the twins as Megan finds her inner strengths. The chick lit style enables the audience to see how much Megan changes in the course of her tutoring. Although the twins are not the quite the terrors they should have been, as they are more like the students in Welcome Back Kotter, sort of impish and mischievous, but not nasty, contemporary readers will appreciate this humorous look at HOW TO TEACH FILTHY RICH GIRLS who live Cindi Laupers credo want to have fun.

Ive never read any books by Zoey Dean before, so this was my introduction to her. She tells a good story in a conversational way which makes it fun and easy to read. I liked her writing a lot, and while the story did seem a lot like The Devil Wears Prada it had enough different twists to keep me interested. Definitely one of the better chick-lit books out there this summer, and worth a read if you enjoy stories like this. I give it four stars rather than five because it sort of dragged on a bit towards the end and didnt keep me interested the entire time. Still a good book, though!
