| Mean Moms: a Novel by Emma Rosenblum |
MEAN MOMS is about the quintessential group of super-wealthy moms huddled outside the doors of a prestigious school in the middle of Manhattan. Mom's: Belle, Frost, and Morgan, welcome recently divorced Miami transplant Sofia Perez into their clique on the first day of school.
Although these four friends are heavily involved in each other's lives, as well as events surrounding their children's school, Atherton Academy, they begin to feel they are being targeted when giant obstacles present themselves at events hosted by each of the women. Is someone out to ruin this group of women, one grand opening at a time? If so, why?
Catalogued as a thriller, I feel a psychological thriller would be more appropriate, as there are sociopathic and psychopathic tendencies portrayed, which make the dynamic of the group of moms interesting, complex, and quite possibly deadly. It reminds me of a mix of MEAN GIRLS and BIG LITTLE LIES.
