Once a down-to-earth girl, Mim Woolcott now keeps Prada, Louis Vuitton, and numerous day spas in business as her life has descended into a merry-go-round of shopping, backstabbing, and snobbery. In between keeping up with the Joneses, cracks are starting to show in Mim's perfect life as money gets tighter and her husband works ever longer hours. If her two best friends have similar problems, Mim would never know: the Gucci Mamas are far too busy picking outfits and having manicures to notice each other's troubles. Something's got to give, and it will take a catastrophic, life-changing event to bring Mim to her senses.
