This was my third book in the „We Could Be Heroes“-Collection and „Pigeon Tony’s Last Stand“ is still the best story in the collection. This one however was the weakest of them all so far… nothing special, just some school kids and their families or some rich parents who trash talk other people behind their backs, without realising that nothing is how it seems… And this is (at least for me) pretty nonreflective and very much outdated… 🙁

„Polly’s fourth-grade daughter has been spending a lot of time with her classmate Sylvie—maybe too much. Sylvie’s clothes are a little…flashy…and her phone (a ten-year-old with a phone!) doesn’t seem to have any parental controls. It seems that Sylvie’s mother, with her vape pens and her too-high heels, may not be making good choices. As Polly tries to exert a positive influence, she discovers just how little anyone can tell about a family from the outside.“

The writing was very good and easy and comfortable. The audiobook and therefore the narrator were amazing. 🙂 But that was about it. Some „Karens“ who think they know everything about other families and who think it is their right (no excuse me, their duty!) to meddle with other peoples business… Unfortunately a fail for me. 🙁👎🏻
