"Like eavesdropping at the playground, I found the shocking lives of the hot dads and Type A moms in Bad Like Me enthralling. It's a delicious domestic thriller full of privileged parents, their messy marriages, and an expert exploration of how far some people will go to keep their seemingly perfect lives from crashing down." 

Vanessa Lillie, USA Today bestselling author of Blood Sisters

"Smartly observed, fast paced, and cleverly told through multiple perspectives, Bad Like Me is a thriller that is at once surprising, propulsive, wry, and breathless. I couldn't get enough of these perfectly drawn characters and their messy, taut, secretive lives. You'll read this one in a satisfying rush!" 

Corey Ann Haydu, author of Mothers and Other Strangers

“Delicious and subversive, Bad Like Me is a keep-you-on-your-toes thriller that not only delivers twist after twist, but smartly tackles themes of motherhood, societal expectations and power dynamics. With insight and precision, Griffin has cleverly crafted a fresh, page turning novel, sure to keep readers guessing until the final page!”
