A quick introductory read to the Momcoms Series. Love it!
This is a prequel to a series of 4 (novels? novellas? I'm not totally sure, because they're not on Goodreads yet and their Amazon listings don't have a page count) books, written by 4 different authors and featuring 4 BFFs and their (eventual) HEAs. As its own story it's a bit disjointed--we do get introduced to each of the women in their respective chapters, but for BFFs who are on a long-awaited girls' trip together, we only see all 4 of them on the page together in the final chapter, the last 19% or so of the book, which feels...strange, since we are already 2+ days into their vacay. The absolute last page finally gives us the premise for the series
So...it's a decent intro to each woman and her individual situation, but the group dynamic and the background for their new "mom com" way of life aren't really fully developed. Still, it's a free read, and can give you an idea of each author's writing style.
(Also--I get why the series is called Mom Coms, but why is that the name of this book? They're only making one "mom community...")
Rating: 3 stars / C
Spoiler
--the idea that they will start a "mom com" AKA a "mom community" to "fix" the disasters their lives have become--but it's not like it's even a well-thought-out plan at that point. She literally just came up with it after setting her shirt on fire and dancing to a little TS. The woman who suggests it isn't even the person who owns the building she says they should all live in, and 2 of them don't even live in the area yet and *might* need to be convinced to move. So...yeah. Not yet convinced this is a done deal for 4 women who have kids and lives elsewhere at this point...So...it's a decent intro to each woman and her individual situation, but the group dynamic and the background for their new "mom com" way of life aren't really fully developed. Still, it's a free read, and can give you an idea of each author's writing style.

This was a nice preview of what’s to come in the series! I am excited to read Liv, Dylan, Shayla, and Delia’s stories!

I love this whole series. All of them are duet with fantastic narration and great chemistry. If you want a light hearted romcom with actual adults (all the women in their 30s), great smut and fun banter you can't go wrong with any in the series.
This book is a prologue for the momcoms series which gives us the back story to Liv, Delia, Shayla, and Dylan’s lives before their individual books branch off. Before reading this, I had already read Mother Hater as I was given an ARC prior to publishing, but I had not yet read the prologue or three prior books. I absolutely loved every single character in Mother Hater and saw many, many reviews about the rest of the series on IG, so I put them on my TBR list I’m glad I did! The found family these four women/moms experience is one I’d share with any friend looking for a hilarious rom com with a side of spice!
In reading Mother Hater, I got to experience all of the characters since it was the fourth book in the series so backing up to start with the prologues, I learned more about the individual personalities of each character. I walked away with the knowledge of Dylan being the extra quirky one who believes in listening to the universe and letting it direct you yet she is the glue who holds their friend group together. You really see and feel this in the prologues and it makes me excited to go back and read books 1-3 now.
Each author did a fantastic job of creating distinctively different characters who work well together, having met as college roommates over 15 years ago. And I have to mention Beckett, because he is an integral character in the entire series, including the additional spin offs recently published by Brittanee and Jenni. The prologue does a great job of teeing up Beckett’s …. Beckett-ness
