Momzillas

Darkly comic, clever, and wry, Momzillas navigates Manhattan's Upper East Side scene of highly educated and extremely wealthy women who throw themselves and all of their resources into being full-time moms—to hilarious and often frightening effect.

Hannah Allen has recently moved to the neighborhood with her New York City-bred investment banker husband and their two-year-old daughter, Violet. She's immediately inundated by an outpouring of advice from her not-so-well-intentioned new friends and her overbearing, socially conscious mother-in-law, who coach her on matters ranging from where to buy the must-have $300 baby dress to how to get into the only pre-pre-preschool that counts. Despite her better instincts and common sense, Hannah soon finds herself caught up in the competitive whirl of high-stakes mothering.
