Her oldest friend Kate Steele is a successful Park Avenue skin doctor whose office is always packed with the city’s crème-de-la thin. Meanwhile, Sara’s new neighbor Berni Davis has just quit her career as a wildly-successful Hollywood talent agent. Pregnant with twins, she’s leaving behind her A-list parties, and trading in the fast track for the cul-de-sac.
At an age when women expect to find doors closing, these three friends are all on the brink of new beginnings. A fresh, funny novel that is both touching and laugh-aloud funny, Mine Are Spectacular a must-read for every woman who knows you’re always the right age for new adventures.
Praise for Mine Are Spectacular!
“A funny, buoyant novel…[the authors’] have crafted a novel that’s so delicious readers might feel compelled to diet after devouring it. Their combination of whip-smart dialogue, spot-on metaphors and the occasional steamy bedroom scene creates a hilarious hit that gives chick lit just the kick to keep it from going stale. As Sara’s girlfriend Berni might remark, Mine Are Spectacular! is better than a box of bonbons.”
—People Magazine (Four star lead review)
“Janice Kaplan and Lynn Schnurnberger are deservedly renowned for their ability to document the social habits and favorite trends of wealthy women… Like the body-positive mantra that inspires its title, the book is meant to be an affirmation. They deliver… moments of sharp, funny recognition.”
—The Chicago Sun Times
“Sex, indeed, is still happening in the suburbs. In Hadley Farm, the fictional village of Mine Are Spectacular!…the women tend to be fiercely loyal to each other and ferociously funny.”

“Although I’m no where near as fabulous as the irrepressible Sara, Berni and Kate in Mine Are Spectacular! by Janice Kaplan and Lynn Schnurnberger—the duo who whipped up midlife crisis fun in The Botox Diaries—I am at least fabulous-adjacent enough and age-appropriate enough to laugh at their 40-something adventures as go-getters who have a knack for going after the wrong thing.”
–Lisa Schwarzbaum review, More magazine
“The co-authors of The Botox Diaries reprise their flighty, feel-good formula for women’s fiction with their second novel…A cotton-candy read…for a day at the beach.”
