Claire was part of an upcoming band but when she decides to take a night she finds herself quickly replaced by someone prettier and maybe, if she's honest with herself, a better singer. Now the band is skyrocketing and she's plummeting. In a desperate attempt to save herself from heading back to her mega church town and living in her parents basement she takes a a job doing musical entertainment for some wealthy mommy group.
These women seem to have it all figured out. They've got beautiful babies with gorgeous husbands. They're wealthy and privileged. These new mom's don't seem to be tired, they've all got their figures back. These women also have the friendship of each other. What's their secret?
Claire struggles to figure out how she fits in. She's a paid employee but she seems to be becoming a friend and she's enjoying the feeling of belonging with the group.
Until one night when Claire is babysitting for one of the group moms and she's pretending to be one of the wealthy, put together moms. Claire accidentally uncovers the secret that keeps these women going and it changes the way she sees them.
Now she's not certain she can continue her friendship and performing for the group knowing what she knows. As more secrets unravel the group seems doomed. Well it was fun while it lasted.
Happy and You Know It would be great for any new mother, thinking about becoming a mother or even well past that baby stage. I think often mothers compare themselves and this book is for those that need to know that they aren't alone and often there's a secret behind those that look like they've got it all figured out. Although not a new mother myself, I still really enjoyed the story.
In Canada, Happy and You Know It comes out May 19th which seems unfortunate as it would make a great Mother's Day gift. Maybe pre-order it for an extra surprise or I recommend buying it for yourself.
