Hilarious at the beginning--kind of Lorelei Gilmore meets Frankie Heck--with the flurry of "class mom" emails that are sent out. Slows down a little at the end, but still a fun read.

Snarky and funny! If you get emails from a class mom, you need to read this:)

This book may have been funny if it was written maybe, 15 years ago? The whole bitchy mom thing is a little over done now, and I say that is one of THE bitchy moms. Every cliche was paraded out in this story about a mom who is too cool to be the class mom but does it anyways as a favour to another mom friend. She is rude, snarky and downright racist in her emails to the class, and is surprised when people don't love her immediately. But of course the others "cool" 🙄moms do, including, of course, the one set of lesbian moms. Did I mention cliche? Jesus Christ, I did NOT like this book.

I did finish, as the book was mildly entertaining. However, the generalizations about non-white, non-straight characters were appalling. Actually, most of the characters leave something to be desired. I would not recommend.
