Buckle up, buttercup, because this book is a wild ride from beginning to end. Set in the prestigious (read ultra rich) Atherton Private Academy in New York City, the book follows a set of Queen Bee Moms through a school year. The publisher classifies this book as a satirical domestic thriller/fiction novel. I don't feel like that title even begins to cover the depth of the dark humor or the look at the social maneuvering that are found throughout this book.
The fly leaf asks a question that haunted me throughout the entire book: What would happen if the woman standing next to you at school pickup was actually a sociopath? And with that lead, the wildest literary ride I've had in a long time began.
As you can tell from the title of the blog, I had children. Enough to fill a mini-van. And I was very involved in their activities. I can honestly say, I've met most of the Moms that were caricatured in this book at some point in time. While I am not and never have been wealthy (my kids went to public schools) The personalities of the main characters were accurately portrayed. I've met these women. You've met them, too!
