Synopsis

 

The meddling moms of Forest River live for a good scandal. Speculation surrounding Claire Conroy’s sex life has fueled the rumor mill for years. Now, when Claire returns home from a trip to Italy separated from her husband of thirteen years, the imaginations of the Lululemon-clad ladies who lunch spins into overdrive. As the gossipmongers create their own scandalous backstory for the separation, blaming Claire’s infidelity, she learns the hard way just how mean mommies can be.

Eager to begin her new life as a single mom of three Claire puts her trust in Jackie Martin, the president of the PTA, to help tell her truth and free her of the false accusations and scandal. But the plan backfires, and Claire is put further into the spotlight when an embarrassed mom declares war.

As Claire dusts off her resume, fights the daily urge not to strangle her ex-husband and his new girlfriend, and dips her toes into the dating world one dud at a time will she find the happiness she craves or succumb to the pressure of the mean girls?

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.
