Can't Wait To Read It: Prospect Park West

Park Slope rez and former sex columnist Amy Sohn has a juicy little nugget of a book hitting the stands in September that delves deep into the lives of four Park Slope mothers: Prospect Park West. Food Coop shifts, mommy-n-me classes, boring/sexless marriages, playground dramz--its apparently all in there. Shit's so good, Sarah Jessica Parker already optioned it to turn into a TV series.

Needless to say, everyone is already talking about it (and if someone can send me ANY relevant, whiny Park Slope Parents threads, I will give you cold hard cash).

Here's the blurb from Publisher's Weekly:

Lizzie, whose lesbian proclivities mask her loneliness; Rebecca, whose libidoless spouse prefers his role as dad over husband; Karen, a social-climbing conniver; and Melora, a former Manhattanite whose psychiatric maladies are as pathetic as they are numerous. The gals in this comedy of bad manners are burned out, bitchy and beyond salvation as they maneuver to be noticed and loved.

So, yeah. I'm pretty much predicting that this is going to be my new fave book on the planet. And guess who's got themselves a MOTHERFUCKING ADVANCE COPY on the way??

Yes. We. Can.

Stay tuned for our first (and likely only) official FIPS Book Review.
