This book was so funny in places, but took so many strange and unnecessary plot twists! The “murder” seemed almost anticlimactic. 
Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book.

If you are looking for a novel that is as entertaining as it is easy to dive into, this book is the perfect pick. Following a group of mothers with children in an exclusive private school in Los Angeles, the book is told from multiple points of view, offering a fresh and dynamic narrative style that keeps things lively and engaging. It is a story filled with drama, secrets and twisting turns and is ideal for those moments when you need an enjoyable escape. 

What makes this book stand out is the author's humour. It is filled with over-the-top moments that simultaneously feel extreme and relatable. The characters, each with their drama more absurd than the next, still have a likeable charm somehow. 

This book does not take itself too seriously, which is part of its magic. It is the literary equivalent of a feel-good movie that is not afraid to bring you down to some deep, dark places: the kind of story you can breeze through between more demanding reads or when you want to unwind. If you liked the show Desperate Housewives, this book is for you!

Thanks to NetGalley and LittleA for the ARC!
