"Plenty
of gut-busting
fun . . . sardonic,
Sedaris-like essays." ~Kirkus
"Need
something sweet and frothy...to tote along with you
on the school run? I recommend The Woman Who is Always
Tan and Has a Flat Stomach by Lauren Allison and Lisa
Perry. These gals take aim at the crazy moms in our
midst---from the perfect brownie troop leader to the
competitive hostesses among in our midst."

"The
authors use an appealing mix of hyperbole and self-deprecating
humor, and the result is an enjoyable, laugh-out-loud
funny book"
~Mom Central
From
Chapter 1
"What's
been your troop motto, Lauren?" the Perfect Brownie
Leader asked.
I
said with pride, "Our troop motto is,'You Can Marry More Money in One Minute Than You
Can Make in a Lifetime!'"
The
Perfect Brownie looked horrified. She said, "Well,
OUR motto is: 'Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For
You, Ask What You Can Do For Your Country.'"
I
slunk down in my chair. I thought I'd change the subject
so I asked "What day of the week shall we meet?"
She
said, "Mondays won't work because I'm involved
with the United Nations Middle East Peace talks every
Monday."
"The
Woman Who Is Always Tan made me laugh so hard it
hurt. This is a fabulous book--I loved it!" ~ Jane Porter, author of
"Flirting with Forty and Mrs. Perfect"
"Confirmed
grumps look away now, this is the best laugh-out-loud
funny piece of satire you are likely to come across
and what’s more, it pokes fun at those incredibly
annoying “perfect”
people everyone secretly hates."
~ MonstersandCritics.com
