Mean Moms

A Novel

By: Emma Rosenblum

Narrated by: January LaVoy

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?

January LaVoy is one of the best narrators there is! Pure magic!!!

Beautiful writing, hilarious! I do not think there should be a word minimum for leaving an Audible review. I have said all I wanted to say. Perhaps Audible is disregarding the cliché about brevity!

Shady and Crazy

I liked the pace of this book. It had something going on every second. It was face paced and a fun quick read. It was like a season of The Real Housewives, except these characters were actually wealthy. Narrator did a great job.

Fun!

I was not expecting this story at all! It was so fun, I got my mom to read it and a few of her friends. Mini book club - super fun

Wicked!

SO crazy, how out of control moms can get in private school! Talk about ALL ABOUT ME! Wealth distorts our way of thinking when we are young, hot and the tiniest bit self-centered or selfish. The sociopath was a GREAT twist in here! Just fantastic! Very entertaining!

C+ rating

It kept my attention until second half, if you’re going for cheesy lifetime movie & lighthearted theatrics, you’ll love it. J wanted some suspense & mystery. This was kinda fun, but didn’t give that. I wouldn’t pay for it personally.
