City Mouse

By: Stacey Lender

Narrated by: Vanessa Daniels

Priced out of their Manhattan neighborhood, Jessica and Aaron move with their young daughters to the one place Jessica swore she'd never go: the suburbs. But to Jessica's surprise, life in the commuter belt makes a great first impression. She quickly falls in with a clique of helpful mom friends who welcome her with pitchers of margaritas, neighborhood secrets, and a pair of hot jeans that actually fit.

Still, it's hard to keep up in a crowd where everyone competes for the most perfectly manicured home and latest backyard gadgets. And what's worse, as the only working mom in her circle, Jessica sometimes feels disconnected and alone. So she's thrilled when she's invited to a moms-only weekend at the beach, which she assumes will mean new opportunities for real talk and bonding. Instead, the trip turns into a series of eye-opening lessons, and Jessica must decide if she's strong enough to be honest with herself about the sort of life she really wants.

Surprising alternative reality!

This title kept me guessing! I enjoyed it so much! It made me excited for the commute to work. #SelfDiscovery

"Housewives of Suffering, CT"

Entertaining story with a not-so-subutle message about working moms and appreciating what you have. There is a fair bit of raunchy language, so be forewarned if that's an issue.
