The Playgroup

By: Jami Worthington

Narrated by: Ellie Gossage

In California’s Silicon Valley, even a children’s playgroup can be a place for power-brokering, innovation, and cut-throat competition.

In Oak Valley, a wealthy suburb of Silicon Valley, Alex Drake runs the playgroup in town. Even in a place where it seems like everyone has a multi-million dollar bank account or has a company that is about to go public, Alex appears to have it all: a delightful daughter, a handsome, adoring husband, model-like beauty, and the kind of obscene wealth that keeps her in the latest fashion, driving the newest car (electric, obviously!), and hosting playgroups where the wine flows—and so does the gossip.

When Alex invites new to the neighborhood Cleo Baird to join her tight-knit playgroup, Cleo can’t believe her luck and knows she has just the “in” she’s been hoping for.

But it isn’t just luck. As the women grow closer and Alex shares more secrets, she doesn’t realize Cleo is keeping secrets of her own. It’s no coincidence that Cleo and her daughter moved to Oak Valley. Cleo came to town with a specific goal in mind: to destroy Alex’s enviable and seemingly perfect life.

Fans of Tarryn Fisher, Jessica Knoll, and Frieda McFadden will love this book about friendships, betrayal, and how nothing, and no one, are ever exactly as they seem.

Creative storyline, bad ending

The storyline was intriguing and creative. There were a lot of characters to keep straight. The ending was disappointing

could not stop listening

Amazing characters!! Well written, excellent buildup. I finished in 2 days!!! Excellent story about mom friends!

A- review of you like chick flicks

Best book I’ve read out of last 20 or so. The plot isn’t very unique but the ending was shocking! While i did like the juicy mom life drama (if you’re not into that - you’ll hate this book) but I loved all the characters & related to each one. Wasn’t a huge mystery until the end. Great book!

Never saw that coming

Pretty decent story with good delivery, definitely could not have predicted the final twists and turns, characters are well to do but lovable if not a bit of alcoholic moms!

Loved the twists

The perfect book for background as I set up a classroom. The multiple storylines were easily kept up with. It was engaging and si listented to it straight thru.
