Reviews
""Glamorous Disasters" is a smart, savvy expose of a world few of us get to see. Schrefer makes his mark as a clever new writer to watch."-- Lauren Weisberger, author of "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Everyone Worth Knowing", "The compulsively readable "Glamorous Disasters will, no doubt, be hailed as the next "Nanny Diaries -- and readers looking for the thrills of an insider tell-all won't be disappointed. But this shouldn't eclipse the fact that Eliot Schrefer's literary debut is also a mordant, moral novel of social observation and social hierarchy in the tradition of Edith Wharton and F. Scott Fitzgerald, with glitzy hints of "Bright Lights, Big City. A deft, intelligent exploration of power, money, and class-climbing in Manhattan."-- Darcy Cosper, author of "Wedding Season, "Glamorous Disastersis a smart, savvy exposé of a world few of us get to see. Schrefer makes his mark as a clever new writer to watch."-- Lauren Weisberger, author of The Devil Wears Pradaand Everyone Worth Knowing, ""Glamorous Disasters" is a trenchant look at the junior Fifth Avenue set and the educated young tutors who ensure that they will coast their way into the Ivy League. In this entertaining and compelling debut, Eliot Schrefer reveals both how obvious and how subtle class differences can be -- and shows that even the most expensive educations don't guarantee a strong moral compass."-- Tom Dolby, author of "The Trouble Boy", "Glamorous Disastersis a trenchant look at the junior Fifth Avenue set and the educated young tutors who ensure that they will coast their way into the Ivy League.

Synopsis
Return to the lands of Aurian.Return to a time when even the land was a different shape. When the fabled Artefacts of Power were shaped. And when a race were fighting for freedom . . .Corisand, shaman of the Xandim, is locked in a desperate fight to free her tribe from slavery, accompanied by her friend, the blind Wizard Iriana. They have achieved the first step; the recovery of the powerful Fialan stone, but now the evil Magefolk are plotting a ruinous war, and the Archwizard Cyran wants to take the stone and use it as a weapon.Will Corisand succeed in mastering the enigmatic Fialan before she and her people are swept up in a conflict that that will change the world forever?Maggie Furey's new series is the perfect introduction to the richness and wonder of Aurian - a world like no other. It tells the story of the genesis of the Artefacts of Power and charts the epic struggle for freedom of cursed people. This is fantasy at its purest and most magical.The Xandim are a people enslaved by the fey and powerful Phaerie, masters of the Old Magic. They were trapped in their horse forms for so long they forgot their human shapes, until their shaman, Windeye, found a way to rouse some of his people and bring them back to their humanity. But his quest to free his people is not over indeed, in this second novel of the trilogy, the fight for freedom really begins., In a debut novel reminiscent of "The Nanny Diaries," a young SAT tutor reveals the glossy private world of Park Avenue teens whose parents will do anything to help them keep their advantage., In the glossy private world of Fifth Avenue teens, some millionaire parents will do, pay, or say anything to help their children ace the SATs. Noah rose from humble beginnings and, through pure grit and resourcefulness, got himself through Princeton. Now staggering under the weight of massive student loans and dazzled by life in the big city, Noah enters the rarefied field of SAT tutoring in Manhattan, working one-on-one with the spoiled, gorgeous children of the American aristocracy. He takes on the considerable academic challenges that are Dylan Thayer, a dissipated high school athlete-socialite, and his waifish sister Tuscany. Dylan won't lift a finger to do anything but pick up a lacrosse stick, and Tuscany is avidly pursuing her own downfall via drugs and relationships with men more than twice her age. But their mother, a self-medicating pediatrician, has ambitious plans for them in spite of their shortcomings -- and she has plans for their SAT tutor as well. Trying to build his own life while living on a shoestring in Harlem and flirting with his beautiful roommate keeps Noah busy enough, but the needs of the glamorous, struggling Thayer kids and the inappropriate advances of their mother prove all-consuming. As deadlines for college admissions near and the SAT tension builds, Noah finds himself presented with a Faustian bargain, and he must make a moral decision that will affect him and his students for years to come. With echoes of "The Devil Wears Prada, The Nanny Diaries," and "Bright Lights, Big City, Glamorous Disasters" is an incisive portrayal of a small and privileged world, a cautionary tale written by a Harvard grad who was once anSAT tutor himself -- an outsider who became a magnificently observant insider.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good.
