Mean Moms

A Novel

De: Emma Rosenblum

Narrado por: January LaVoy

“[January] LaVoy vivaciously narrates [Emma] Rosenblum’s fast-paced story, conveying the women’s snarkiness and suspicion to perfection.” — Library Journal

Meet Frost, Morgan, and Belle—a wealthy, gorgeous group of New York City moms, the queen bees of downtown Manhattan. Their children attend Atherton Academy, the top private school in the city, and their social lives revolve around elaborate themed parties. On the first day of school, the arrival of a new mom and mysterious beauty from Miami, Sofia shakes up their world. When Sofia quickly integrates herself into their clique, inexplicably bad things start to happen to the women. Is someone at school out to get them?
Spanning the course of one eventful school year in New York, Mean Moms is part satire of upper-crust mom-ing and part mystery, interrogating the line between friendship and jealousy, and getting at the question:

What would happen if the woman standing next to you at school pickup was actually a sociopath?

This program is read by January LaVoy, seven-time Audie Award–winner, Grammy nominee and AudioFile Golden Voice.

So fun! Amazing narration, great characters

I read Bad Summer People and liked this even more. It’s relatable on some levels, thoroughly entertaining, and it was a superb performance by the narrator.

I wish there were more

I really enjoyed this! I felt like I learned so much about this lifestyle. I constantly researched names and brands. Very interesting and relatable characters.

Draaaaama!

Easy read, good listen. I love January LaVoy’s reading style. Honestly, I wasn’t sure I was going to like any of these characters, but I ended up liking a few of them. There were no big surprises or a surprising outcome, but the story was fun and enjoyable.

Loved it

She draws you into the story and then just when you have it figured out…you don’t. Great read!

Liked Bad Summer People better.

Intriguing story. Love the narrator, but hard to keep the characters straight. A couple of crossover Easter eggs with characters from Bad Summer People.
