What a great read! The storyline was unexpected, and kept you turning the pages. I enjoyed the complexity of the characters relationships, and watching them evolve. I will definitely recommend this book.

I disliked this novel from start to end. The author writes about a playgroup with such disdain for everyone involved that it becomes an indictment, rather than a satire.

I found it absurd and I really couldn’t get into it with all the characters and the absurd scheme that brought them together.

Sorry, but I cannot recommend this novel. I found it terribly trite and emphasized all the negative anti-woman stereotypes that exist. I don’t find portraying women as cheats and liars a positive description of a book.

A surprisingly compelling story that gets in its own way as focus shifts unevenly from character to character. An unfortunate heavy hand with the cliches (more colors than a box of crayons), but a strong through line that keeps you hooked. The kind of book that makes you want to discuss it with girlfriends after reading! Thank you for the ARC.

Elite Mommy Playgroup of NYC ...
This was my life for 10 years when my girls were little- well minus the dripping diamonds, penthouses, social media sensations and tiny waistlines!

Six woman gather twice weekly with their babies for playground and friend therapy, so why not have live musical entertainment?

Despite their ridiculous wealth and gorgeous families, these woman have similar experiences, relationships and emotional roller coasters of lives of a new mom. They are willing to try anything ...

The woman were surprisingly relatable, entertaining and threw in some very unexpected twists. A great read for moms everywhere.

As a mommy-group graduate (though not as high-brow), I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. The characters are terribly flawed yet likable. The story is well-paced, and I enjoyed the delicious twist at the end.
