This book was equal amounts cringy, uncomfortable & dare I say, captivating, with a twisty crime edge to boot! Full of over-the-top, bitchy private school Mum’s - think the annoying Bad Mum’s clique, but Irish - add a school stage production, a nude photo scandal & chaos ensues. Somehow this writer made an incredibly uncomfortable plot line readable & hard to put down. 
I definitely wasn’t ready for that twist. An unexpected great read!
