HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT

Author and narrator Laura Hankin delivers an impressive performance of this entertaining novel about motherhood and friendship. The story often feels easygoing and fun but at other times provides a darkly satirical look at motherhood. Claire is a down-on-her-luck musician who has been hired to perform for overprivileged babies. She's quickly bewitched by their upper-crust Manhattan mommies. The plot unfolds through multiple perspectives as each mother harbors her own crazy and dysfunctional secrets. While some are relatable, and some are cringe-worthy--listeners will have no problem differentiating characters. If you're happy and you know it, grab this audio. If you're a mother with small kids, listen to this audiobook. If you like getting lost in other people's misery and enjoy strong plot twists--this is for you.
