In Housemoms: A Novel by Jen Lancaster, three women find themselves in sorority row. Two of the women are related: CeCe and Hayden. The other woman is Janelle who ends up alongside the other two women when she joins WITSEC.
Not only do challenges loom for the women. As CeCe has to deal with a change in her living situation. On the other hand, Hayden walked away from her parent’s money only to find herself working as a barista and wanting nothing to do with what comes with being a Barclay. Janelle witnessed a crime at her previous place of employment, not having had the best opportunities once joining WITSEC she believes she now has a chance at a better life.
The Drama
Jen Lancaster does a great job of providing backstories for the three women. When I was reading “Housemoms: A Novel” I had no idea how these characters would somehow find themselves meeting. Then we get to Eli Whitney University, Hayden’s alma mater, where she’s employed as a barista near the campus. In a chance meeting, all three women find themselves at that coffee shop.
With both Janelle and Cece as house moms in two of the sorority chapters, you would think it’d be smooth sailing and they would’ve gone on to live good enough lives. But you’re wrong, as the sorority rush week is on the line, especially for CeCe. Challenges you didn’t expect loom and you will wonder if the ladies will come together and do better with the opportunities they’ve been given.

This was my first time reading a book from the author, Jen Lancaster, and I truly enjoyed it. Housemoms: A Novel is a book that you can enjoy in one sitting because you will want to know what happens to each of the ladies in the story.
