5.0

This book totally cured my reading slump. I absolutely loved this fast paced mystery. It had the best characters and plot. There were so many lessons to be learned and kept you guessing until the very end. I had watched the show before reading the book but didn’t remember all the details. I wish I would have read the book first but it did not take away from the reading experience. It was thrilling , had a twist , and really makes you think and that’s all I can ask for in a mystery thriller! 

This book follows three women who are all mothers to five year olds who are in the same kindergarten class. With money and social politics most of the women and parents at the school seem like they have it all together but as time goes on and lines get blurred you’ll see that not everything and everyone has the life they claimed to have. From violence to murder to bullying you’ll see that not just the kindergarten children are getting into trouble and getting picked on - their parents are too. If you haven’t read this one yet and you enjoy a solid mystery thriller I highly recommend this one.
