Happy And You Know It

Meer over het boek

A dark, witty page-turner follows a group of wealthy mothers and a young musician who becomes entangled in their glamorous lives and dangerous secrets. After her former band achieves superstardom without her, Claire reluctantly takes a gig as a playgroup musician for privileged infants on New York's Park Avenue. To her surprise, she finds herself drawn to her new employers, a lively clique of wellness enthusiasts with seemingly perfect lives. Among them is Whitney, a perfect hostess on the brink of social-media fame, who struggles to maintain her flawless facade; Amara, a caustically funny recent stay-at-home mom grappling with her new identity; and Gwen, an old-money veteran mom who dispenses parenting advice with ease. As Claire grows closer to these women, she uncovers secrets and betrayals that no amount of activated charcoal can remedy. Filled with humor and shocking twists, this novel offers a brilliant commentary on motherhood and society's judgments of women while exploring the allure of curated social-media lives that often leave us feeling inadequate. Ultimately, it celebrates the unexpected bonds that form when diverse women come together at their most vulnerable.
