The novel explores the cost of maintaining appearances and the consequences when the lies begin to unravel.
It was really difficult to trust any of the characters in this book given the title 😂 I was a bit unsure of this book mainly bc I find influencer worlds so superficial and a group of IG influencer moms sounded like a snooze fest for me BUT the tea was tea-ing so I was intrigued. I love how the novel broke apart all the assumptions made on influencer moms and highlights the fact that nearly most of social media is ✨fake✨ and mostly performative.
Overall this is a great read that I didn't see coming!
