This reminded me of a movie! The moms are a bit over the top, and the way they interact with each other had me laughing throughout the story. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. I enjoyed it.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a novel that is as entertaining as it is easy to dive into. Following a group of mothers with children in an exclusive private school in Los Angeles, the book is told from multiple points of view, offering a fresh and dynamic narrative style that keeps things lively and engaging. It is a story filled with drama, secrets and twisting turns and is ideal for those moments when you need an enjoyable escape. 

What makes this book stand out is the author's humour. It is filled with over-the-top moments that simultaneously feel extreme and relatable. The characters, each with their drama more absurd than the next, still have a likeable charm somehow. 

This book does not take itself too seriously, which is part of its magic. It is the literary equivalent of a feel-good movie that is not afraid to bring you down to some deep, dark places: the kind of story you can breeze through between more demanding reads or when you want to unwind. I think this book would be perfect for all of the Desperate Housewives fans!

Thanks to NetGalley and LittleA for the opportunity to read and review this ahead of time!
Rating: 3.5

Thanks NetGalley for an arc. This was a tough book to get through. The characters are so unlikable it was difficult to root for any of them. I can’t recommend this book. I typically like this genre, moms at PTA meetings, etc but there are better books out there.

3.5 stars. “moms like us” is a comedic cautionary tale centered around four mothers whose children attend a posh, 'progressive' private school. the story unfolds through multiple points of view and email exchanges between the characters. it's messy and humorous and dramatic and intriguing as you come to learn of all that these mothers do (and have done) to protect their children -and their own secrets- no matter how outrageous the situation becomes.

i highly recommend this book if you’re looking to get back into reading or if you’re experiencing a reading slump! jordan roter’s writing is very accessible and completely draws you in. it’s the perfect choice for anyone searching for a light-hearted escape. if what you seek is a fun, fast-paced summer read, this is the book for you!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for the fair and honest review.

This was my first Jordan Roter novel. I look forward to reading additional novels by her. This was a really quick read and I enjoyed the different characters and their stories.

I would definitely recommend this book and this author to others.

I really enjoyed this book. I am not a big fan of spicy books, but this didn’t go too much in to detail and it didn’t bother me. I appreciated that there was a POV for each of the moms. I was able to keep up with each of them without getting confused. I loved the end on how it tied everything together and then continued on to tell us what ended up happening with each character!

Moms Like Us was a fun, light beach read. I loved the characters and their interesting backstories, as well as the shenanigans they get up to. I found the plot to be engaging and I wanted to keep reading to find out what would happen next. I think anyone who liked Big Little Lies will like this book.

A nice beach read if you like rich people problems; I found this amusing and actually laughed out loud at times. Don’t expect a mystery book though!

I love books about moms and their offspring and the stress of getting into schools. These moms were pretty bad and had a lot of secrets. There is a murder too which amps up the story. I did like that it was about four different women and told from all their point of views. There were laugh out loud moments scattered throughout the book too. If you like rich people problems, mom problems, murder, kids and laughing you will like this book. I give it a 3.5.

I had high hopes for this book. It opens with a murder but it’s unclear who is dead and who is/are the murderer/s. The story then goes back in time to follow four moms of students at a progressive private school outside of LA. I liked the multiple POV format. I also appreciated the stresses associated with trying to move into selective middle schools. My major problem was that none of the characters were likable. All but one of them had secrets that centered around their promiscuity. I cannot recommend this one but I thank NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC.
