Daughters Rule Number Six: Never talk to the press about your parents.

After leaking a story about the family business, impetuous high school freshman Carina Jurgensen is cut off by her billionaire father. Always resourceful, she fibs her way into a job as a party planner for New York's annual Silver Snowflake Ball. But when Carina finds out that the party committee expects favors and freebies from her dad's A-list connections, a choice must be made: Does she get real about her downgraded status, or pretend she's still the ultimate heiress?

Best friends and fellow daughters of celebrities Lizzie Summers, Carina Jurgensen and Hudson Jones are back in Joanna Philbin's second stylish and heartfelt Daughters novel.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Ever wonder what it's really like to grow up in Manhattan with a famous mom or dad? Well, Joanna Philbin is going to tell you. The Daughters is authentic and well-told. Gossip Girl herself would love this new series." (Cecily von Ziegesar, author of the #1 bestselling Gossip Girl and It Girl)

"I was drawn to the tantalizing story immediately, but my heart was stolen by the fierce friendship between three besties living life inside the celebrity fishbowl. I can't wait to read the next book!" (Jen Calonita, author of Secrets of My Hollywood Life)

"Reading Joanna Philbin's funny, witty, and poignant debut is like getting an insider's glimpse into the gilded world of those born to be famous." (Alyson Noel, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling The Immortals series)

"As if navigating their high school hallways weren't enough, these girls have to do so under the entire world's watchful eyes!" (Seventeen.com)

"Writing with a light tone that should appeal to a young female audience, the author chisels a little depth into the niche of chick lit. She makes readers care for her heroes and disdain her villains... Entertaining and not entirely fluffy." (Kirkus)

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book!!!
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2013

I liked this book very much. Carina, Lizzie, and Hudson are all so very lifelike and relatable that they could just walk right off the pages of the book and into reality!!! The thing I liked most about the book is that the Carina learns to be a very reasonable and practical person and that helps her learn that she can't keep living her spoiled ways forever. I gave this book all 5 stars because the author used good wording, realistic characters, and situations that could happen to anyone that lives that same lifestyle as the daughters do in the series. I would recommend this book to anyone that is looking for a book that has a little of everything, in including: romance, comedy, friendship, and a hint of a serious feeling at times. Overall, I think that this is a very good book!

5.0 out of 5 stars For tweens and teens

This book continues right where "The Daughters" left off (see my review here ).
Carina, the daughter of a media mogul has leaked unfavorable information about her father to the press. To punish her he cuts off her credit cards, replaces her iPhone with an archaic cell and puts her on a $20 a week allowance. Carina manages pretty well recycling her own clothes and brown bagging her lunch but in the process finds a job and a nice guy and learns a lot about her parents and herself. While Lizzie and Hudson take back seats to Carina's story we do get to meet Alex who every tween/teen girl will adore. There is definitely boyfriend potential in him. Carina proves that she is a very intelligent and resourceful girl and although she claims to not want to major in business we can only imagine one day she will be a successful businesswoman. Of course the book ends right where the third in the series will begin with Hudson's story and I for one will be looking forward to reading that. Recommended for tweens and teens and those enjoying stories about friendship, growing up and (innocent) crushes. Not necessary to have read "The Daughters" first but you may want to read after this one!

As a teacher of 5th graders, it is often hard to find book that the kids find interesting and on their level. I bought the first book in this series and ALL 12 girls in my class read it and enjoyed it. I purchased the remaining book from Amazon to keep them interested, and I must say it was a great investment. The girls truly enjoy this series of books!!! I loved the fact that Amazon had them on sale and they were very inexpensive. Great buy and a great book!

My daughter read the entire series this summer. She is going into 6th grade and we have been having a hard time finding books that she enjoys (girly, fashion related). She read and loved the two books from the Allegra Biscotti Collection and was hoping for more in that series but no luck yet. We hunted for another girly series and found this one. She couldn't put the books down - went from finishing one to starting another all summer.

I thoroughly enjoyed every book in this series. Although most young people do not have to deal with the problems of these young ladies, it is still a very readable and enjoyable book and shows how many basic issues are the same for us all.

3.0 out of 5 stars Daughterly Friendship
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2011
Much like it's predecessor, The Daughters Break the Rules is a witty and entertaining romp through the life of three celebutantes trying to find their way through school, friendship, love and family. Each with their own cross to bear, this story follows Carina the sporty heiress to her media mogul father's billion dollar communications empire. Not the least bit interested in following in his footsteps she's made even more resentful by his complete inability to see through his own plans to focus on what she wants to make of her life.

Enter salacious and incriminating gossip. The kind that ruins careers and irks parents enough to have them send a girl to a rigid boarding school thousands of miles away. But don't worry, the attempt isn't successful, the other half of the parenting equation (the non-amicable divorcing kind) puts a quick stop to the whole thing. Alas, once back home said billionaire heiress will learn a lesson regardless; the kind where daddy takes away all of her money and makes her live on less than paltry means. Chaos ensues!

In my review of the first in the series [...] I spent some time speaking to the fact that Philbin has created interesting teens with depth of character despite their wealthy circumstances. This second book continues to showcase that strength. The focus on Carina and her acknowledgment of how money does play a significant role in her life and how she adjusts to it's diminishment was the moral du jour this time around. In addition, I liked that through this adjustment process she was also struggling to determine where she fit into the ever changing relationship with her father.

While their relationship was created with the typical angst (he is the absent father, she is the different daughter struggling against him) it was also written in a way that the focus was more on Carina's behaviors and reactions than his. There were definitely altercations but ultimately this was a story about how Carina became a better stronger person who understood the true value of money, the true value of individuality, and the true value of friendship and love.

Speaking of love, young girls are taught a valuable lesson through Carina's journey from her adoration of a spoiled rich boy to finding genuine trust with a boy from "across the tracks". Neither journey was smooth sailing and I'll admit I didn't feel any connection with either but I did like the outcome and what it teaches girls to value out of relationships.

As was the case with the first, this second book ends on a cliffhanger that will bring the reader right into the third story focusing on the last of the triple threat, Hudson. If the third is as fun and thoughtful as the first two I have no doubt I'll enjoy it just as much.
