Executive assistant Renee Parker, newly hired by John Cutter, senses something is fishy at Flying Point Capital. Enlisting the aid of her friend, bond manager Sasha Silver, Renee and Sasha ferret out the inconsistencies at Flying Point while attending charity dinners and power lunches.
The Recessionistas is great fun in the tradition of novels like The First Wives Club. Pairing intelligent women against scheming men, Ms. Lebenthal has brought New York society after the crash into homes across America. She made a financial dolt like myself understand more about what causes our current economic crisis, while taking me to The Hamptons, the Cayman Islands, and the great restaurants and hotels of New York City.
On a whimsical note, I love the cover art for The Recessionistas. It's a city skyline designed with different Judith Leiber purses! How clever!
You should definitely give The Recessionistas a try, and to make that easier for someone (US & Canada only), I have a copy to give away from the great folks at Hachette Publishing Group! As always, I'll make it simple and give you several chances to win.

Hi sweetie, I've read the book, so don't enter me. Love your review. The shallow-mindedness of some of those characters is spot-on. Not a whole lot of grit for a 1st book, but a fun read. I loved the beginning, but by the end I was bored. xx's

It is one of the book of Alexandra Lebenthal which has put some fun into finance with her debut novel. I read this book so many times, its beginning is best for full of fun. It is very interesting and like its review so much.
