Review title: like an OPRAH show... in book form
Product review: Only Oprah would do a better job of telling us HOW our neighbors/siblings/co-workers can afford their lifestyle. I picked this book up after I read the review in Publishers Weekly. To sum up the contents, it's a compilation of stories about couples and real estate and credit card debt and the secrets we keep when it comes to how people REALLY afford that brand new minivan, the designer purse, the private school for their kids. Unfortunately there was nothing new in this book... I mean, yeah, big deal, everyone has a second mortgage these days, right? No epiphanal moments or breakthroughs into inside information and the root of envy. But the concept of this book is great and the author has done a terrific job of trying to make money talk not quite so taboo. Kudos to her for that. The subject would make a great topic for an Oprah Winfrey show.
