I'm always leery of chick lit, but I needed to read a book with candy on the cover for a BB reading challenge. So glad I picked up this candy-coated book! I'm surprised how much I identified with/wanted to slap most of the characters in this book. The story is murder mystery-ish but really about the dynamic between the mothers of a class of kindergarten students and how they deal with adult romance, bullying, finances, and parenting. Everyone was so believable, and the situations were hilarious, frustrating, and painful at turns. The read is light but doesn't feel like junk food.
