Publisher Description
Meet Frost, Morgan, and Belle—a wealthy, gorgeous group of New York City moms, the queen bees of downtown Manhattan. Their children attend Atherton Academy, the top private school in the city, and their social lives revolve around elaborate themed parties. On the first day of school, the arrival of a new mom and mysterious beauty from Miami, Sofia shakes up their world. When Sofia quickly integrates herself into their clique, inexplicably bad things start to happen to the women. Is someone at school out to get them?
Spanning the course of one eventful school year in New York, Mean Moms is part satire of upper-crust mom-ing and part mystery, interrogating the line between friendship and jealousy, and getting at the question:
What would happen if the woman standing next to you at school pickup was actually a sociopath?
This program is read by January LaVoy, seven-time Audie Award–winner, Grammy nominee and AudioFile Golden Voice.
"Packed with drama, backstabbing, gossip and more...a must-listen." —Woman's World on Bad Summer People

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The author of Bad Summer People is back with another gleeful takedown of the ultrarich and unapologetically petty, this time targeting the backbiting world of New York City’s private-school parents. Frost, Morgan, and Belle rule the mom scene at Atherton Academy, where social currency is measured in themed parties and designer clout. But when mysterious newcomer Sofia arrives, their lives begin to unravel, one bizarre “accident” at a time. Equal parts satire, suspense, and social comedy, the increasingly wild plot spirals through sabotage, secrets, and a group chat so chaotic it deserves its own spinoff. These women are gloriously awful, yet author Emma Rosenblum makes it a blast to hear them stew, scheme, and self-destruct. Narrator January LaVoy’s character voices are hilariously on point—especially in the group texts and party scenes, which feel like reality TV in audiobook form. Deliciously messy and wildly entertaining, Mean Moms is a gratifying listen for fans of rich people behaving badly.
