About this audiobook

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.

"Packed with drama, backstabbing, gossip and more...a must-listen." —Woman's World on Bad Summer People

I listened to the audio version of this book narrated by January LaVoy. The narration was spot on for all these women. This is the story of what goes on with the parents of kids attending a highly prized private school in Manhattan. It is a mystery surrounding the elite of the elite moms. Things (and I don't mean good things) start happening to the women of this small clique. Soon they are wondering if it is someone in their group behind all the mishaps. This was a really good mystery. It definitely kept me listening intently. Thanks to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for the audiobook. All thoughts are my own.
