5.18.2020 - Happy & You Know It

Happy and You Know It by Laura Hankin

Many thanks to NetGalley, Berkley Publishing, and Laura Hankin for the opportunity to read this wonderful book!  4.5 stars for a book filled with snarky, dark humor, friendship and music!

Claire is down on her luck - she was part of a band that hit stardom and left her behind.  Now she's trying to survive by performing for a group of wealthy moms and babies at their playgroup.  Claire becomes infatuated with this group of moms who take her into their privileged life.  The moms and babies are living the perfect instagram life.  Yet they are all keeping secrets.

I adored these characters - especially Amara and Claire.  While this is such an entertaining read, it is also a glimpse into how society judges mothers, especially in the time of social media, and how that changes how we feel about ourselves.  And just what we will do to change ourselves to fit that perfect image.
