“I may have gone out of the frying pan – into the fire…” ~Sheila

Frost, Morgan, and Nell are the “it women” of downtown Manhattan. Their children all go to the top private school, and their social life is all about being seen at extravagant events and themed parties. Nothing changes year to year beyond maybe a hairstyle.

But the start of this school year is different. Enter a new mom. Sofia is gorgeous, recently relocated from Miami, and easily fits in with the other 3 women, almost as though they had a missing piece until she arrived.

And then things start to happen… each of the women goes through a type of crisis…enough to make them wonder if someone is behind these reputation-damaging happenings…

Oof. Secrets, lies…. women behaving badly… maybe this was too soon after finishing another read about a school… I didn’t engage with any of the moms, none of them were likable, and I know I know… they don’t have to be… but really, I just wasn’t invested in what was going on and how it would all pan out. It felt a little forced. Maybe too much going on? DRAMA.

Rated: 2 out of 5
Read Author Before: No
Read Author Again: I don’t think so unless something is getting raves
Book Club Worthy: I’m probably the wrong person to ask – while I struggled, someone else may love it and find plenty to chat about ( the themes are all there – backstabbing, betrayal, friendship, secrets…)
