From popular author and columnist Amy Sohn comes a smart, sexy, satirical peek into the bedrooms and hearts of New York City's Prospect Park West.Brooklyn's famed neighborhood of Park Slope has it all: the sprawling, majestic Prospect Park, acclaimed public schools, historic brownstones, and progressive values. The more upwardly mobile New Yorkers discover its virtues, the more that claiming a stake in Park Slope becomes a competitive sport.In the park, the coffee shops, and the playgrounds of the neighborhood, four women's lives collide one long, hot Brooklyn summer. Melora Leigh, a two-time Oscar-winning actress, frustrated with her career and the pressures of raising her adoptive toddler, feels the seductive pull of kleptomania, Rebecca Rose, missing the robust sex life of her pre-motherhood days, begins a dangerous flirtation with a handsome local celebrity, Lizzie O'Donnell, a former lesbian (or "hasbian"), wonders why she is still drawn to women in spite of her sexy husband and adorable son, and Karen Bryan Shapiro finds herself split between two powerful obsessions: her four-year-old son's well-being and snagging the ultimate three-bedroom apartment in a well-maintained P.S. 321-zoned co-op building.As the women's paths intertwine, and sometimes crash, each must struggle to keep her man, her sanity, and her play dates.
