“Mean Girls for adults.”
A widowed mom with a secret relocates to Florida for a fresh start. She makes friends—and forms a steamy “weekends only” romance with the head of school—but when her tween daughter joins the popular group, only to be controlled and bullied, both mother and daughter find themselves on the wrong side of their gated community with devastating repercussions.
Unflinching in its portrayal of modern-day parenting, Weekend Friends is a chilling debut that is as confronting as it is compelling. Unputdownable. —Nicola Moriarty, international bestselling author of You Need to Know.
Dark, enticing, and an incredibly poignant delve into modern motherhood. —L.C. North, author of The Ugly Truth.
Ellwood-Clayton explores the uneasy path of modern parenting, adolescent angst, and the vast consequences of seemingly small choices, where a parent’s best intentions are fraught with danger—and potentially deadly consequences. Weekend Friends is a deeply emotional tale that will make you laugh, cry, gasp, and ultimately leave you haunted with questions that have no easy answers. —Annette Lyon, USA Today bestselling author of Just One More
A razor-sharp read about the social pressures mothers and daughters face in their respective cliques and how those worlds can collide when more than one person has a secret. —Georgina Cross, bestselling author of One Night
