Barbarians at the PTA by Stephanie Newman
4.0

I received a free copy from BookSparks and the author in exchange for my honest review.

CW: infidelity, bullying, self-harm, suicidal ideation, disordered eating

This book is advertised as Desperate Housewives meets Mean Girls and that is a perfect description. I was hooked from the first chapter and read this start to finish in one day. This book is sad and funny and has so many twists and turns. I love the growth of the characters and the ending was absolutely perfect. This is a great debut novel and I hope Newman will keep writing more.
