This book is such a delight. You’ll want to devour it in one sitting. It’s my favorite of Rosenblum’s novels yet (third time really is the charm). She has such a knack for writing about wealthy women behaving badly, and Mean Moms is no exception. We meet Frost, Morgan, and Belle (who felt a little too inspired by Nell Diamond for my taste, though I still loved every page). These women seemingly have it all: beauty, brains, adoring husbands, vanity businesses, and perfectly behaved children at the prestigious Atherton Academy. But on the first day of school, a newcomer arrives. We meet Sofia, glamorous, mysterious, recently divorced, and straight out of Miami. She’s quickly folded into their tight-knit trio, but her presence coincides with a string of unsettling incidents. Is it a coincidence, or is someone targeting them? The novel unfolds over one wild school year, mixing biting satire with just enough suspense to keep you hooked. What I loved most was the balance: it made me laugh out loud while keeping me guessing. Mean Moms is witty, sharp, and addictive. You won’t be able to put it down.
