“[January] LaVoy vivaciously narrates [Emma] Rosenblum’s fast-paced story, conveying the women’s snarkiness and suspicion to perfection.” — Library Journal

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 read Bad Summer People and liked this even more. It’s relatable on some levels, thoroughly entertaining, and it was a superb performance by the narrator.

So fun! Amazing narration, great characters

The story involves characters to root for and despise and draws you in where you want to know what is going to happen next. The storyline is fun and interesting and never drags as it seems the author uses every sentence to draw you in and drive toward the culmination of the story. The narration is excellent and helps engage the reader in. Highly recommend.

Engaging, mysterious, fun and snarky. Perfect narration

Intriguing story. Love the narrator, but hard to keep the characters straight. A couple of crossover Easter eggs with characters from Bad Summer People.

Liked Bad Summer People better.

After reading some heavier books, I needed something light and this was perfect. The story is fun as it revolves around a group of over the top mothers, trying to maintain their social status at their children’s school. It’s a combination of drama, gossip, and grown up middle schoolers being caddy and obnoxious - with a heavy dose of maliciousness. It’s like reading about the characters from Gossip Girl as adults, still competing, back stabbing, and trying to outshine each other.

The characters are great, even if some are very annoying, as I am sure was intended. Their antics, business ideas, and theme parties were really fun.

I listened to this on audio and particularly liked all the voices and discussions in the school’s WhatsApp group. It was a fun book, and if you want to be entertained by some drama, pettiness, and gossip, I recommend it.

Rating: 4.5/5
