Friends with Secrets by Christine Gunderson
5.0

This is a fast, fun read. I chuckled throughout.

At first, it seems Nikki and Ainslee couldn’t have less in common. Nikki became a stay-at-home mom against her will when she was fired from her job as an on-air anchor so someone younger could take her place. With four small children and no extra money, she can barely keep all these tiny humans alive and her pants on (with the help of a safety pin).

From the outside, Ainslee seems to have the perfect life. She appears perfectly organized and is always dazzlingly dressed, but when a new coach joins the school, she worries her secrets will be revealed, potentially ending her husband’s campaign and maybe even her marriage. She and Nikki become friends, and Ainslee reveals her past. Together, they work to see if they can get the dangerous-to-young-women-and-girls coach fired.
