About the Book
Welcome to Forest River, New York, where perfection is a requirement. The Lululemon-clad moms are perfectly toned, expertly highlighted, and magnificently manicured. The women spend their days practicing Pilates, shopping for shoes, and doing everything in their power to ensure their children never experience a difficult day.
PTA president, Jackie Martin, is the envy off the mothers. She has a loyal and handsome husband, she hosts elaborate parties, and her eldest daughter, Hayley, is the most popular child in the fifth grade. Her life appears flawless, but is life ever what it seems to be?
After receiving a painful blow when Hayley was in kindergarten, Jackie clawed her way into PTA power. She lived her life by the adage, “Proper planning prevents poor performance.” Her attention to detail (okay fine – her control freak nature) served her well until she experiences the ultimate betrayal.
Angry and hurt, old emotional wounds are ripped open as Jackie realizes she doesn’t know who she can trust. Jackie must reevaluate her life, her friendships, and the choices she has made. Will she finally let her guard down and show the world the real Jackie Martin?
A hilarious and heartwarming novel that’s perfect for fans of Class Mom! Mom Boss is the standalone prequel to Go On, Girl and Mom Genes.
My Review
I have been reading all the books in the Forest River PTA Moms series, and I’m finding all of them to be a fun escape. In the third book we follow Jackie Martin, and she was someone I was really curious to get to know better. I made my own assumptions on her from the first two novels, but as I got to learn her story in Mom Boss, it made me feel more connected with Jackie and why she handles some situations a certain way. Now, she’s still Jackie of course, and she brings a certain overbearing element to the PTA group, but it was a great to see her not only stand up for herself and family, but try to let her guard down when it came to her friendships. I look forward to more in the series!
