Book Overview
At an elite prep school, the devil wears Lilly Pulitzer pink. When Wade Rouse, who grew up more Hee-Haw than Dynasty, was hired as the director of publicity at the prestigious Tate Academy, he quickly discovered his real job: to make the very pretty, very rich, very mean mommies of the elite students very happy. Enter Wade's VIP volunteer and perfectly coiffed nightmare, former beauty queen and sports star Katherine Isabelle Ludington--Kitsy to her friends. In between designing Louis Vuitton-inspired reunion invitations, dressing as Ronald Reagan for Halloween, and surviving surprise Botox parties, Wade tries to tame Kitsy and her pink Lilly Pulitzer-clad posse while retaining a shred of self-esteem. Following a year in the life of the super rich and super spoiled, Confessions of a Prep School Mommy Handler is hilarious, heartbreaking, and deliciously catty.

Hilarious and touching, a quick read that left me wanting more. Wade Rouse picked an odd place to go about the business of finding himself. I will definitely read the rest of his works.

Wade Rouse is a fantastic author and this book is a great example of his work. Funny and heartbreaking all at the same time, Wade sure knows how to tell a story. I plan to read everything this superb author writes.
Boarding School Memories

Couldn't put the book down, wish that I could have read faster since I hungered for more, more, more! It was deliciously catty, and menacingly mean and since I was a product of a Midwest Catholic, all-girls boarding school, it stirred memories that were stored in the some remote corner of my mind. I will read it again and this time take my time and savor all the characters, situations, and poignant life lessons this book offers.
fabulous tell all - better than Prada!!!!

I loved this book. I am using it in my book club. This is a must buy. I heard it has already sold out in St.Louis and Chicago. This is a tell all about anyone and every one who has every went to Prep School or had to deal with the Filthy Rich. Rouse's charaters jump off the page and so does he. His personal stuggle with Kitsy the Mean Mommy makes the Devil Wears Prada look like a cake walk. A FUN FUN READ!!!!!!! Ciao, Grant
