Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC copy of this book.
Was a real quick read once you got into it- three women whose children all attend the same UES prep school will do anything to bump their children ahead in life, whether it be college, sports, or popularity. This book gave me major Gossip Girl vibes, which I loved. I was a little confused by all characters and multiple points of view at the beginning of the book, but eventually it settled into a rhythm. The characters were ones you loved to hate, so once the plot got moving I had a hard time putting the book down. Only giving it 4 stars because the end felt a bit rushed to me- I loved the final chapter of the book (and who narrated it), but I think a bit more plot development would have helped bump it up a notch. Recommend for anyone in the mood for a Desperate Housewives, Gossip Girl style book or anyone who likes books by May Cobb.
