This playgroup does not mess around when it comes to taking care of their babies, making sure they have all kinds of opportunities for brain development and gently letting their followers on social media know how much better they are than others. I thought the ending was wrapped up maybe a little too neatly, but I did appreciate the author's efforts in making sure that all of the characters either got resolution or got what was coming to them. My biggest issue with this book was that Vagabond's name sounds a lot like Vagabon and Laetitia's music is nothing like anything described in the fictional world! This had a few plot elements that felt random, but was so much fun to read. Excellent characters and some fun commentary on Momstagramming. I'm sad there wasn't as much music as I'd hoped though.

"A dark, witty page-turner set around a group of wealthy mothers and the young musician who takes a job singing to their babies and finds herself pulled into their glamorous lives and dangerous secrets.... After her former band shot to superstardom without her, Claire reluctantly agrees to a gig as a playgroup musician for overprivileged infants on New York's Park Avenue. Claire is surprised to discover that she is smitten with her new employers, a welcoming clique of wellness addicts with impossibly shiny hair, who whirl from juice cleanse to overpriced miracle vitamins to spin class with limitless energy. There is perfect hostess Whitney who is on the brink of social-media stardom and just needs to find a way to keep her perfect life from falling apart. Caustically funny, recent stay-at-home mom Amara who is struggling to embrace her new identity. And old money, veteran mom Gwen who never misses an opportunity to dole out parenting advice. But as Claire grows closer to the cool women who pay her bills, she uncovers secrets and betrayals that no amount of activated charcoal can fix. Filled with humor and shocking twists, Happy and You Know It is a brilliant take on motherhood--exposing it as yet another way for society to pass judgment on women--while also exploring the baffling magnetism of curated social-media lives that are designed to make us feel unworthy. But, ultimately, this dazzling novel celebrates the unlikely bonds that form, and the power that can be unlocked, when a group of very different women is thrown together when each is at her most vulnerable"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Easy to read story about the dark underbelly of rich, beautiful Moms in Manhattan. It has a few twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting and overall I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Could totally imagine this as a movie.
