Honestly, the first film was one of my favourite films to come out in 2018.

It was great fun and both Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick perfect in the film.

The first movie follows a single mother, Stephanie, played by Anna Kendrick who runs a parenting vlog.

She ends up befriending a secretive upper-class woman, Emily, played by Lively who has a child at the same elementary school.

When Emily goes missing, Stephanie decides to investigate and find out where she’s disappeared to.
