The story opens with the apparent cover-up of a death at the annual Palm School’s glamping trip into the woods. Then it backtracks to six months earlier, with PTA president Milly giving her speech at Back to School night.
Jillian is worried that her daughter, who has learning difficulties, won’t be accepted into their preferred middle school and wants to make sure principal Eva does everything she can to help.
Dawn and family have just returned to LA after leaving in disgrace when her combative husband was fired from his law firm. And Heather is certainly not happy that they are back.
Tell me it’s a story about bad-behaving mums with offspring at a competitive private school and I’m in. I enjoyed the dark humour of this one as the four women battle to go to great lengths for their families and to protect their secrets.
