New pediatrician Shelley Green joins a posh Upper East Side practice. Loved it.

Really delightful----and---actually, because Goldstein is a pediatrician herself, full of some very common sense approaches to child care between the moments of the story, caused, of course, by perhaps Goldstein's own possibly real experiences with parents but, in the book, imagined parents/children coming to see the wonderful Shelley, for care.

Shelley has worked hard to graduate med school and has landed the dream job in the Upper East Side. Where I come from, we have a saying, "They're gettin' above their raisin'." That's exactly what happens to Shelley.

Shelley gets caught up in the glitz and glamour of high society and forgets where she came from and the morals/values that she learned from her loving (and overwhelming) family. She loses everything she truly loves and discover that the grass may be greener on the other side, but still has to be mowed. Then she returns to her roots.

This book was a quick, easy read but very predictable. I didn't like that the entire ending happened in the very last chapter (a whole SIX PAGES!). It's like the author couldn't think of any other situations to put Shelley in and decided it was time for her to "see the light". Bam! Just like that, everything was neatly wrapped up in the predictable ending.

The best part of the book was Shelley's interactions with her patients and their over-the-top celebrity parents.
