Review & Thoughts

Mom Genes by Hilary Grossman

Mom Genes is the second in a three-book series by Hilary Grossman. True to it’s book blurb, this story is very much Big Little Lies meets Class Mom (minus the murder) but just as much drama!

Mom Genes is a light-hearted read even though it deals with real world issues like dealing with gossip and social politics. I enjoyed the character development and the overall flow of the story and would recommend to anyone looking for a fun dramatic read. You don’t have to read the first book to enjoy the second but I always recommend starting in order if you have the option.

For all the moms out there, or anyone that ever had a parent that was part of the PTA at their own school, this book is for you!

Fun Fact: I had the opportunity to share an exclusive interview with the author. Go check it out, it’s a fun one!!

In a Nutshell: Fun second book in 3-part series. Great read for anyone that enjoys dramatic yet funny chic-lit or women’s fiction.

One of my favorite quotes:

There are no guarantees in life and none in dating. But it’s like swimming. Sometimes you hold your nose and dive right into the deep end.
