Meet Frost, Morgan, Belle - a group of wealthy, gorgeous 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 the 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?

Review:

Five Stars

I won an Advanced Reader Copy of this book in a Goodreads Giveaway.

If this was a one sentence review it would be :

“ Pretty Little Liars meets Gossip Girl for moms and it doesn't disappoint.”


This book has everything: secrets,lies, ambition, success, failures, mystery, backstabbing,  jealousy and more.  Seriously with friends like these who need enemies? Once you start reading you will not be able to stop.  Manhattan made the perfect backdrop for this story. 


 If you were a fan of Pretty Little Liars and Gossip Girl (OG) this book is for you. I started reading this book around ten o'clock at night and could not put it down. I felt like I was transported straight to Manhattan and was standing outside watching the moms drop their kids off on the first day of school.  

I Absolutely loved the main characters Frost, Morgan, Belle, and newcomer Sofia( my fave) . There are plenty of side characters that you will either love, feel sorry for, or absolutely hate

 ( probably lean more into hate though). I love it when an author can put words on a page and literally breathe life into every single character to the point that I will go through a rollercoaster of emotions while reading.  Author Emma Rosenblum has this amazing talent.


I literally read mystery books the way most people breathe air and can usually figure out the who, what, when, and why in a mystery a few chapters in. This book however had me completely stumped and in the end when it was finally revealed I was left both stunned and speechless. 





The very first page will hook you in and you will not be able to stop reading. Absolutely fabulous book! 

The Queen Bees ( the mom version)at an elite Manhattan private school takes us through one hell of a roller coaster ride into the private lives of the wealthiest  and most ruthless people you have ever met.

A Day in the Life of A Blogger

  Welcome back to the blog! Today, I’m excited to share a typical day in my life as a blogger. After over 10 years in the industry, I’ve optimized my schedule to work just three days a week. Finding a routine that works for you is crucial! Here’s what a day looks like for me: Morning Routine  Emails:   I start my day by checking emails and responding to PR companies about potential collaborations. Interact with Followers:   Connecting with my followers on social media is my favorite part of the morning. Read Morning Newsletters:   I subscribe to newsletters relevant to my niche and personal interests to stay informed. Meditation:   I meditate every morning to enhance focus and reduce stress, followed by an evening session to unwind. Yoga/Workout:   I typically work out between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM, with yoga as my preferred method. It boosts my energy for the day ahead. Related Links  15 Minute Yoga Workouts To Start Your ...

B-PURE Gentle Skin Cleanser Review

I absolutely love trying new skin care products, especially those designed for people with sensitive skin like myself.  A few months ago on a trip to my local Dollar Tree I found the B- Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser and decided to give it a try.  Review  I was really surprised at how well the B-Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser worked at removing the dirt and oil from my face without stripping and irritating my skin. Let me just say it is definitely the most gentle skin cleanser I have ever come across. It leaves my skin clean, smooth and refreshed every time I use it. The B-Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser is now part of my daily 3 Step Skin Care Routine. I highly recommend trying it for yourself.
