I laughed to find this at the end of the book, because I thought about When No One Is Watching several times while reading this, although it's far less terrifying.
A single mom with way too much on her plate--including the stress of being one of very few Black parents in her daughter's school--finds herself getting caught up in some very suspicious PTA drama. I liked the slice-of-life parts of the story, but Mavis go on my nerves a bit. (cont.)
Benny has been working so hard today to disrupt my reading. He says "just one more cuddle" ?

pickNormally, I wouldn't pick a book with these colors on the cover, but it's for one of the reading groups here on Litsy. Also, normally, I wouldn't read anything someone considers cozy. Not because I have a problem with them, but they don't usually seem to end up in my TBR. Glad I read this one. I recommend it if you need a light read with what are actually heavy themes. And, especially so if you work or have a child in elementary school.😄

Subbing in the school library today. Bittersweet because this is the library where I‘d hoped to work. They still haven‘t hired a permanent person. Makes me feel kind of put out. They didn‘t even interview me.
Haven‘t been around much because we are moving. This is our first morning in the new place. It was warm for most of the moving process, but yesterday the weather returned to our usual mild coastal weather. Hopefully it will stay that way since now we have to clean the old place. I hope to reign in the chaos before I have to go back to work in October. 😊
