Beschreibung
A dark, witty page-turner set around a group of wealthy mothers and the young musician who takes a job singing to their babies and finds herself pulled into their glamorous lives and dangerous secrets…

After her former band shoots to superstardom without her, Claire reluctantly agrees to a gig as a playgroup musician for overprivileged infants on New York's Park Avenue. Claire is surprised to discover that she is smitten with her new employers, a welcoming clique of wellness addicts with impossibly shiny hair who whirl from juice cleanses to overpriced miracle vitamins to spin classes with limitless energy.

There is perfect hostess Whitney, who is on the brink of social-media stardom and just needs to find a way to keep her perfect life from falling apart. Caustically funny, recently stay-at-home mom Amara, who is struggling to embrace her new identity. And old money, veteran mom Gwen, who never misses an opportunity to dole out parenting advice. But as Claire grows closer to the cool women who pay her bills, she uncovers secrets and betrayals that no amount of activated charcoal can fix.

Filled with humor and shocking twists, Happy and You Know It is a brilliant take on motherhood-exposing it as yet another way for society to pass judgment on women while also exploring the baffling magnetism of curated social-media lives that are designed to make us feel unworthy. But, ultimately, this dazzling novel celebrates the unlikely bonds that form, and the power that can be unlocked, when a group of very different women is thrown together as each is at her most vulnerable.

Zusammenfassung
NOW IN PAPERBACK!

May 2020 Library Reads Pick!

TIMELY SUBJECT: Laura addresses the falsehoods of social media; the wellness-industrial complex that preys on all of us and glorifies impossible, outrageously expensive beauty standards; and the pressure we all face to make it appear as if we have it all together

HOLLYWOOD BUZZ: ABC Studios optioned the story for TV on behalf of Timberman-Beverly (producers of Justified, Masters of Sex, Elementary, etc.) and Amanda Lasher (showrunner/producer/writer on shows The Bold Type, Gossip Girl, Togetherness, etc.)!

AUTHOR CREATES AND STARS in her own comedy duo, Feminarchy, which puts on live shows and whose videos have garnered hundreds of thousands of views and have been featured in NowThis, The New York Times, and Funny or Die

THE PERFECT PERSONAL BACKGROUND: Laura has spent years working as a baby music teacher in wealthy Manhattan (she can even name-drop some celebrities she's worked for), mirroring her protagonist and lending her novel a level of authenticity and relatability that Laura will be able to draw from and speak to

YOUNG PROMOTABLE AUTHOR: Laura has written for many pop-culture publications, including Betches, Romper, and HuffPost

BOUGHT IN A PREEMPT: We scooped up two novels from this fantastic author in a preempt

BREAKOUT BOOK: Laura previously published a critically acclaimed, quiet coming-of-age novel with Berkley; she took a few years off, switched agents, and then decided to write what she loves: a truly commercial, smart novel
