Aprašymas

"There are so many gambits and countergambits that anything seems possible, and even the savviest reader will be kept guessing until the end. With such a tangled web of strategy, deceit, betrayal, and shocking revelations, this book certainly earns the coveted descriptor of 'page-turner.' The Mommy Clique is a well-written drama that is rich in emotional stakes, and Altamirano does an exemplary job of making the reader feel those stakes along with the characters. Fans of Big Little Lies will certainly devour this novel, but Altamirano has a number of twists of her own to offer, taking readers on a surprisingly intense ride towards a deeply satisfying conclusion." -- SPRLife in suburbia is typical and ordinary-just the same old same old.
