Mean Moms

By Emma Rosenblum

Book Overview

"Emma Rosenblum has become the queen of reads about wealthy East Coast women behaving badly, and her latest is no exception." --Glamour

Meet Frost, Morgan, and Belle--a wealthy, gorgeous group of New York City moms, the queen bees of downtown Manhattan. Their children attend Atherton Academy, the top private school in the city, and their social lives revolve around elaborate themed parties. On the first day of school, the arrival of a new mom and mysterious beauty from Miami, Sofia, shakes up their world. When Sofia quickly integrates herself into their clique, inexplicably bad things start to happen to the women. Is someone at school out to get them?

Spanning the course of one eventful school year in New York, Mean Moms is part satire of upper-crust mom-ing and part mystery, interrogating the line between friendship and jealousy, and getting at the question:

What would happen if the woman standing next to you at school pickup was actually a sociopath?

MEAN MOMS by Emma Rosenblum Bring on the catty, unhinged drama! Satirical and salacious, this would be a good one to pick up if you need a break from heavier novels. A light and quick palate cleanser if you will. As a mom with kids in school this definitely hit on a few of the parental stereotypes and behaviors I’ve observed. Except these moms are in a whole different tax bracket so everything’s a little more complicated. There’s no shortage of toxic relationships or frenemies here! The audiobook was fun to listen to. Loved the production and January LaVoy’s narration. If you don’t expect much and like a little levity in a mystery thriller you’ll probably enjoy this. Rating: 3/5 ⭐️
