Publisher's summary

The writers behind the blockbuster hits Bad Moms and A Bad Moms Christmas and the acclaimed author of No Happy Endings join forces in this hilarious novelization of the hit movie franchise.

What happens when a trio of overworked and underappreciated good moms get pushed beyond their limits? They turn "bad" - ditch the kids, the housework, and their clueless partners with hilarious and heartwarming results.

Based on the popular movies, Bad Moms: The Novel gives fans a new way to enjoy their favorite characters, Amy, Carla, and Kiki, as they smash the Perfect Mom pedestal, take on the grown-up Queen Bees, forge deeper bonds with their kids, get some long overdue respect and recognition, and indulge in a few hours of some crazy fun.

Enriching the chaotic and comedic stories of the films, Bad Moms: The Novel is a sendup of modern motherhood and a celebration of moms gone (temporarily) whack - to good effect.

It improved when the plot showed up.

Ultimately I really did enjoy this book. In the beginning I judged it as whiny. It was a case of having the characters develop first and the plot Far behind. It turned out enjoyable.

Yep, like the movie

The movie kept very close to the book, which quite honestly shocks me. I loved the movies ( 1& 2) so this book did not disappoint.

Perfect is overrated.

Sometimes books made after movies suck, not so with this one. It was just as funny as the movie. It follows the movie almost scene for scene, but what the book does is give insight to each of the characters personality. This book does give insight into not being perfect. Obviously if you’re looking for a literary masterpiece, look somewhere else. But if you want a fun story that has you with a smile or two, this is a good one to choose. Narrator does a great job.

Better than the movie

Please write more books like this! I bought the movie and I love the book. These characters stayed with me after I heard the book. I love getting to know their thoughts and motivations. Good fun!

Love Nora Mcinerney

I didn't like the movie, I'm not a Mom, so perhaps that has something to do with it. However, Nora Mcinerney's reading made this story thoroughly enjoyable.
Nice, light, fun 2 day listen.
