  It's not a pyramid scheme. It's an opportunity—for revenge. 
  Victoria Sterling is living her dream life in Splendor Springs, where Mormons, mommy bloggers, and MLMs reign supreme. The flawless influencer only needs one more recruit to reach the top of Puremetics, but when she targets Anna Price, she unknowingly threatens her picture-perfect life. 
  That's because a mistyped address sends down-on-her-luck Anna to the wrong house, crashing a meeting of the OWLS—an unlikely group of silver-haired activists. The rebel women convince Anna to enroll in Vicky's downline and help take down Puremetics from the inside. 
  As their worlds collide, the cracks from Vicky's past become too large to ignore. With each shattering revelation, she wonders if she can maintain the shiny facade upholding her business empire or if taking down her corrupt boss is worth risking it all. 
  With plenty of heart and humor, Splendid Little Schemes is a sharp and entertaining tale of ambition, friendship, and redemption.

  I'm Holly Snow and I'm in desperate need of a miracle. I've been raising my five-year-old niece, Faith, since she was a baby. As much as I love her, I was twenty-three when my sister died. There was no way I was ready to be a single mom. 
   
   
   
  A few months ago, I managed to get Faith a partial scholarship to a ritzy preschool for gifted children. I've been struggling to make tuition payments ever since. The bottom line is that I need to make more money. At this point, I'll take any job that allows me to look after Faith while I work—as it doesn't involve anything weird or illegal. So, when my bestie, Toni, tells me her tall, dark, and Scroogy boss needs a personal shopper to take care of all his Christmas needs, I leap at the opportunity. 
   
   
   
  When I say yes, I have no idea Mr. Incredible will also end up needing a fake girlfriend. Apparently, he's got to prove to his family that he's the marrying type or they won't be turning over the keys to their investment brokerage to him come January. I should definitely say no, but I'd be crazy not to take the obscene amount of money he's throwing my way. (Besides, who wouldn't want to live in the lap of luxury in a Newport mansion for a few days?) As a bonus, Faith and I get completely new wardrobes so we can fit in. Now, I just have to promise myself not to fall in love with him.

  The Thesmophoriazusae, or Women Celebrating the Thesmophoria , is a comedy by Aristophanes that satirizes gender relations, religion, and the power of women in ancient Greek society. The plot centers on Euripides, who fears that the women of Athens—gathered to honor the goddess Demeter at the all-female Thesmophoria festival—will punish him for portraying them negatively in his tragedies. To secure his safety, he enlists his father-in-law Mnesilochus to infiltrate the festival disguised as a woman. Chaos ensues when Mnesilochus is caught, leading to a series of farcical escapes, witty wordplay, and sharp literary parody. Through slapstick humor and biting satire, Aristophanes critiques both Euripides’ dramatic themes and the social norms surrounding gender and religious ritual, making The Thesmophoriazusae a clever and provocative exploration of art, identity, and societal critique in classical Athens.
