First, thank you to NetGalley and Flatiron Books for this ARC.

I loved this! What a fun, satirical take on motherhood and society's ridiculous expectations of mothers (and women in general, but mainly mothers). Any woman who has had kids will see herself here in one of these characters, whether they admit it or not. Stereotypes are examined with sharp wit and, at times, disturbing truth.

The 4 year old class at Little Academy is small and tightly knit - the children and parents are all a true community. When a mysterious tragedy befalls one of their own and a bizarre psychological condition afflicts most of the class, three very different mothers try to figure out how to keep kids in check, get lunches and dinners made, keep their jobs intact, and maybe solve some of the mysteries along the way. Throw in bloodthirsty 4-year olds and I was hooked.

This has Big Little Lies vibes...the overall plot, the school, the entitled nature of the parents and kids, the community, the mystery. However, this one has more bite (terrible pun intended). What great fun to read!
