Rating:  Summary: It's not the destination, it's the journey Review: You know how this book will end but the wild twists and turns towards that end make this book well worth reading.Becca Reinhart is a Type-A business magnate in NYC when she learns her college friend Amy has been killed in a plane crash along with her boyfriend Arthur. Amy and Arthur have a four-year-old named Emily. Amy named Becca as Emily's guardian should anything happen to her. Arthur has named HIS old pal Edward Kirkland as Emily's guardian should anything happen to him. Edward Kirkland is an affable rich guy who attends charity events as part of his job at the family philantrophy trust. He basically has no choice, although he does enjoy squiring different debutantes to these affairs. He seems constantly thrust together with Bunny, a very ambitious social-climbing childhood friend, whose mother is friends with HIS mother -- a grand dame of this circle. Eddie, Becca and Emily form an unconventional family as they strive to care for Emily under these unusual circumstances and navigate the horribly competitive, scary world of finding Emily the "right" preschool yadda-yadda-yadda so that they are still deemed fit guardians at their 3-month hearing. Meanwhile, Eddie's life --- pre-planned by the women he knows without his consultation -- threatens to blow apart not only his own life, but Becca's and Emily's as well. This is an awesome little book.
