A mother starts noticing things at school pick up that don’t add up. Then another school mum goes missing.
Prairie isn’t a conventional mother and has a knack for asking questions until she runs into trouble. As well meaning as she is, this lands her out with an fbi agent.
This has an MLM plot line that for sure is Lularoe based. If you know, you know.
Overall, this was fun. It was a bit wild but also hits home for all the things mums do. It had a lot of tangential storylines and some felt like they were just there but didn’t move the story along or resolve and I wanted them to either tie in more or not be there.
Thank you firefly distribution for the copy 🤍🤍

This was unexpectedly delightful while also being a twisty mystery.
This was a fun, mid-paced mystery built around mom life, multi-level marketing chaos, and a main character named Prairie (yes, Prairie, and weirdly, I kind of love that as a name). It’s a good in-between read if you’ve just finished something heavy and want something lighter but not totally brainless.
The story follows a recently divorced mom who starts sleuthing after someone in her circle goes missing. Prairie is witty, bold, and, yeah, a little nosy. But honestly, how else are you supposed to uncover clues if you’re not kind of a busybody?
Now, a heads-up for readers like me who get distracted by tone: this book definitely feels like it was written by people who’ve spent a lot of time on TikTok learning how to be perfect communicators. There’s a strong “validate every feeling, acknowledge every trauma, don’t interrupt, mirror people’s language” energy to the way conversations play out. It’s not bad, just noticeable. Some scenes felt like a parenting or therapy script more than natural dialogue.
There are recurring themes around how men, especially white men in law enforcement, don’t listen to women or take them seriously. Prairie’s ex-husband was portrayed as someone who failed her, didn’t help when she needed it most, and basically took advantage of her, only to later have his own little reckoning. The general vibe is that men are clueless or harmful until they realize it and try to do better. If you’re not into that kind of feminist undercurrent, it’s worth knowing it’s there. It wasn’t in your face or obnoxious, but it’s woven throughout the book.
Also, fair warning: it’s pretty predictable. The person you think did it? Yeah, they did it. It doesn’t ruin the story, but if you’re looking for plot twists or a jaw-dropping reveal, you won’t find that here.
Still, I liked Prairie. Some reviewers found her annoying, and yeah, maybe if she were a real person she’d be a bit much. But she felt real. And relatable. I’m curious what she’ll do next, and I’ll probably read the second book assuming it doesn’t lean harder into those themes.
If you’re in the mood for a cozy, MLM-driven mystery with a dash of mom drama, some lightly feminist commentary, and an easy-to-root-for lead, you’ll probably enjoy this one.
