7.29.2025 - Mean Moms

Mean Moms by Emma Rosenblum 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of the latest book by Emma Rosenblum and fabulously narrated by January LaVoy.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!

Frost, Morgan and Nell are the queen bees of Manhattan society as well as at Atherton Seminary, the top private school where their children attend.  But then a new mom, Sofia, shows up on the first day of school.  Sofia is a mysterious beauty from Miami and quickly integrates herself into the clique.  But then bad things start happening to the women.  Just what is happening?

I'm a big fan of this trope - rich moms behaving badly.  I guess it's just a peak into how the other half live that will quickly having you thank your lucky stars that you aren't among them.  But it's fun to pull back the curtain at all the messiness and excess.  Plus, it's an exploration of friendship, especially those tight cliques that form and always seem to leave someone on the outside just dying to get in.  This is just fun escapism made even better by the narration of January LaVoy - truly made this cast come alive.  The perfect book to read before those school bells ring!
