Looking for a satirical comedy set in New York City that centers around a fictional (though perhaps all-to-real) uppity modern Manhattan mommy group? Look no further than Laura Hankins’s extremely wittily-written Happy and You Know It.

Happy and You Know It is “a dark, witty page-turner about a struggling young musician who takes a job singing for a playgroup of overprivileged babies and their effortlessly cool moms, only to find herself pulled into their glamorous lives and dangerous secrets….”

Good Housekeeping magazine has said “For fans of Sex and the City and The Nanny Diaries comes this juicy story…that would make even the most meticulously Drybar-ed hair curl,” and quite frankly, I think they nailed it with that statement.

Laura is going to be joining us this week to discuss Happy and You Know It and giving us a glimpse into her own experience as a playgroup musician in NYC. She’s both talented and hilarious and our conversation will no doubt be both interesting and fun!

So *mark your calendar* and see below for more details on the storyline. And if you plan to join us on Thursday, be sure to get your copy today!
 
“After her former band shot to superstardom without her, Claire reluctantly agrees to a gig as a playgroup musician for wealthy 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 cleanse to overpriced miracle vitamins to spin class 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 flawless life from falling apart. Caustically funny, recent 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 stylish 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 when each is at her most vulnerable.”
