She?s a mother of three young children, her workaholic husband is never around, and the vicious competition for spots in New York City?s kindergartens is heating up. A New York Times journalist-turned-parenting-advice-columnist for an internet start-up, Annie can?t help but judge the insanity of it all--even as she finds herself going to impossible lengths to secure the best spot for her own son. As Annie comes to terms with the infinitesimal odds of success, her intensifying rivalry with hotshot lawyer Belinda Brenner--a deliciously hateful nemesis, what with her perfectly curated bento box lunches and effortless Instagram chic--pushes her to the brink. Of course, this newly raw and unhinged version of Annie is great for the advice column: the more she spins out, the more clicks and comments she gets. But when she commits a ghastly social faux pas that goes viral, she?s forced to confront the question: is she really any better than the cutthroat parents she always judged? A shimmering epistolary novel incorporating emails, group texts, advice columns, newspaper profiles, and more, Plays Well with Others is a whip-smart, genuinely funny romp through the minefield of modern motherhood. But beneath its fast-paced, satirical veneer, Brickman gives us a fresh, open-hearted, all-too-real take on what it means to be a parent--fierce love, craziness, and all." $c --Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Parenting $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Kindergarten $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Competition (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240802015722.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1FAE9FD8509B11EFA2FD99314CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
