This book is the perfect beach read... and nothing like I expected. I was expecting a pretty straight-forward book about parent cliques at an elementary school, but this book surprised me with the depth to which some characters were explored and the mysterious element that had me guessing until the end. I did deduct one star for the rather abrupt ending, but I guess that's what I should have expected with a mystery book. If you're looking for a book that's a little gossipy, this one is for you.
