Praise for The Best Laid Plans
“Schnurnberger goes solo for a middle-age crazy tale of Tru--a stay-at-her-Park-Avenue-home-mom of twin teens whose husband loses his job in the financial meltdown--and glam sidekick Sienna, a TV anchor kicked to the curb for a younger face. The resourceful gals cook up a wacky plan to keep themselves in lipstick and lingerie: an escort agency specializing in well-bred over-40 "courtesans." It's a hit, and along the way, Tru competes to keep her husband; deals with her irrepressible mom, Naomi (a former Miss New York Subway), after her life-changing heart attack; and discovers her daughters are competing for the same wicked eighth-grade heartthrob. The multigenerational antics of this light, enjoyable romp are safely PG, as is the message: true love (or is it Tru's loves?) conquers all.” — Publisher’s Weekly “Fun, fast read.” — Parade magazine “True love (or is it Tru's love?) conquers all.” — Publisher's Weeklt “Frothy, pure wish fulfillment.” — Booklist “Bawdy and breezy.” — All You “Required reading.” — New York Post “A madcap story of a zany heroine that will make you laugh on a cold winter night.” — Parkersburg News & Sentinel “Delightful... witty... clever... The author maintains a frothy 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'-style.” — Connecticut Post
Praise for The Botox Diaries and Mine Are Spectacular! “Hilarious….a novel so delicious readers might feel compelled to diet after devouring it.” — People magazine (four-star review) “Ferociously funny.” — The New York Times “(The authors) are deservedly renowned for their ability to document the social habits and favorite trends of wealthy women.” — Chicago Sun-Times “A spirited page turner.” — More magazine “A funny, buoyant novel…(the author’s) combination of whip-smart dialogue, spot-on metaphors and the occasional steamy bedroom scene creates a hilarious hit that gives chick lit just the kick to keep it from going stale. As Sara’s girlfriend Berni might remark, Mine Are Spectacular! is better than a box of bonbons.” — People magazine “The authors of The Botox Diaries reprise their flighty, feel-good formula for women’s fiction with their second novel…A cotton-candy read… for a day at the beach” — Publisher’s Weekly “Sex, indeed, is still happening in the suburbs. In Hadley Farms, the fictional village of Mine Are Spectacular!...the women tend to be fiercely loyal to each other.” — The New York Times “Although I am nowhere near as fabulous as the irrepressible Sara, Berni and Kate in Mine Are Spectacular! by Janice Kaplan and Lynn Schnurnberger--the duo who whipped up midlife crisis fun in The Botox Diaries--I am at least fabulous-adjacent enough and age-appropriate enough to laugh at their 40-something adventures as go-getters who have a knack for going after the wrong thing.” — Liza Schwarzbaum review, More magazine “Full of hilariously over-the-top situations…(with) a steady string of witty zingers…a great choice for a summer read.” — BookPage “The adventures of these three women will leave readers in stitches.” — Cincinnati Library “A humorous novel filled with interesting characters and even more interesting story lines…A lot of ‘laugh out loud’ scenes throughout help keep up the light-hearted pace.” — Bookreporter.com “(The authors) deliver moments of sharp, funny recognition…Like the body-positive mantra that inspires its title, the book is meant to be an affirmation. They deliver…moments of sharp, funny recognition.” — Chicago Sun-Times “Makes Wisteria Lane look like Sesame Street” — New Jersey Life “This summer’s must-have beach read!” — ABC’s The View “Juicy tell-all novel. Capturing the fun of the dishy, chick-lit genre of Sex and the City, Devil Wears Prada and Bergdorf Blondes.” — The New York Times “(A) midlife-crisis bonbon, which should be sold with fuzzy slippers and a tube of cucumber eye gel.” — The New York Times Book Review “Fast-paced and with zingers on every page.” — The Washington Post “A sexy romp…following down-to-earth Jessica and glamour-puss Lucy through plastic surgery, interludes of lust and celebrity overkill-–all of which leads them, charmingly, back to the basics of being best friends.” — Elle “Sex, shoes and shopping reign supreme in this playful summer read…Breezy and humorous, creating poignant peeks into the reality TV-world.” — TV Guide “Watch those worry creases turn to laugh lines over this one.” — Boston Herald “Warning! Reading this book could cause laugh lines! It may also lead to sleep deprivation--since once you start, you won’t be able to stop. I loved it.” — Lauren Weisberger, author The Devil Wears Prada “(An) homage to female friendships. Read it!” — Marie Claire “Moneyed suburban moms are the belles of this midlife romantic comedy…will fit the bill for those mourning the end of Sex and the City.” — Publisher’s Weekly “Chipper, hilarious, loaded with bubbly girl-talk, it’s a fantastic beach read.” — The Star “Snappy dialogue, hilarious and lovable characters, and enough tension to keep the pages turning.” — Booklist The Botox Diaries has found a way of…setting itself apart from the pack. (The authors) have created very likeable and very real characters…wrinkle-free and thoroughly enjoyable.” — Bookreporter.com “Will sell like hotcakes…candid, witty. The Botox Diaries succeeds.” — The New York Post |
