Über diesen Titel
A National Bestseller
The author of My What If Year is back with a fun, witty debut novel that takes you inside the world of extreme wealth and charitable giving.
Lucia thought she had it all figured out—until life in London as a new mom and expat turned everything upside down. She’s barely holding it together when she unexpectedly lands a glamorous job as a philanthropic adviser at London’s poshest private bank. But is the world of the über-wealthy everything that it’s cracked up to be?
At work, she’s rubbing elbows with royals; at home, her teething one-year-old is up at all hours of the night, and her husband’s growing connection to his ex-girlfriend is raising suspicions.
Can Lucia juggle Buckingham Palace visits, private island getaways, and late-night cocktails at secret clubs while keeping her family intact and staying true to herself?

Kritikerstimmen
“Imagine Andy from The Devil Wears Prada as a thirty-something Venezuelan mom toiling in the cutthroat world of private philanthropy. A funny and heartfelt look at the cost of ‘having it all’ on working mothers, and a clear-eyed send-up of the do-gooders (and do-badders) who comprise the global elite. I cheered for Lucia the whole time, and am cheering for her still.” —Sally Franson, author of Big in Sweden
“In a delicious debut equal parts warm and biting, Miranda examines the pressure on women to ‘do it all’ with humor and whip-smart accuracy. A must-read for all of us who’ve felt like something (or someone) just had to give!” –Asha Elias, author of Pink Glass Houses
“A fast-paced, heartfelt, funny exploration of the juggling act of motherhood—with entertaining forays into the world of upper echelon Brits, including royalty and, of course, Colin Firth—told with an honesty that will be instantly relatable to fellow jugglers. If you, too, haven't had one too many drinks, woken up to a cherubic toddler demanding your attention, and realized you're late for a work meeting, you can't sit with us.” —Sophie Brickman, author of Plays Well with Others
