A review by melissarochelle
The Hive by Gill Hornby

3.0

I was reminded of one more reason to not have children: other parents. The Hive is one more reminder that the mean girls never go away (I don't really remember having this group in my high school, but it's possible I just blocked it or wasn't the one that was picked on or was the mean girl...that's an unpleasant thought). Anyway, the Queen Bee, Beatrice, was atrocious and I was flabbergasted by why some of those characters listened to her. Plus I didn't get some of the jokes. Tea and lesbians? Did I miss something?

Overall, a quick read, has some good book club discussion moments, but not one of my favorites.
