Review
The Forest River PTA moms are at it again!
When I first started reading this book I was confused because it felt like I had already read this book. What I didn’t realize is that this series covers the same time period but from a different perspective compared to Go On, Girl. Once I had that in my mind, I was off to the races.
Claire is the focus of this book and she takes such a beating on her personal life. Her husband has left her, the moms think she is having an affair, and then let’s not even talk about those blind dates! But that is ok because she got them back with almost no effort in a situation or two. She keeps her cool and sense of humor throughout the book, even when dealing with her soon to be ex-husband, Kevin. He is worthless and a slimeball and deserves nothing for his actions.
While most of the moms ban together, there is one that is out to sabotage everyone. That is Donna. I’m not sure what her issue is but she slanders everyone and slings so much mud. Let’s just say she gets her comeuppance several times in the book. Jackie can be a tough nut to crack, but if she is on your side then you shouldn’t want for much. I can’t wait to read her story in Mom Boss.
This is a fun read and it will leave you shaking your head wondering how people can act this way and get away with it most of the time.
We give this book 4 paws up and if you pick this book up, make sure to read the first book to see the various situations from another angle.
