Plays Well with Others by Lauren Myracle
Beloved bestselling children’s author Lauren Myracle makes her literary fiction debut with a gripping suspense novel about the dark side of “perfect” parents in a tightly-knit suburb. Perfect for fans of Little Fires Everywhere and Big Little Lies.

There is no way to be a perfect parent, but there are a million ways to be a dangerous one …

Jacquelyn “Jake” Nolan had lost first her stillborn son, then her marriage, soon after her job and her reputation. Still grieving, she makes a determined effort to start over. She settles into a new house, and buoyed by a growing friendship with Mabel—a bouncy upbeat neighbor with whom she has found some common ground—begins to feel as if maybe, just maybe, there is a future for her that is not entirely bleak. But this charming little neighborhood across the street from an elementary school conceals an undercurrent of darkness and rage … and not just from the adults.
