"I gave this 3 1/2 stars, rounded up. Definitely interesting, just not my favorite. Still good though!"

"I loved this book! First few chapters were like watching Desperate Housewives but then it became very interesting! The weaving of each family was intriguing and thrilling. I will definitely read more of Jamie Day. I couldn’t put it down for the last 100 pages👏"

"3.5 stars rounded down<br/>This was a great book if you are looking for a relatively uncomplicated audiobook. It was easy to keep up with and didn’t leave you with the feeling you missed a part if you lost focus for a minute. <br/><br/>The story is your typical suburban neighborhood, where neighbors on Arden street are very close and have a block party every year on Memorial Day. The book spans over a year and the reader is aware from the start that the next Memorial Day there will be a murder. During the year, secrets from each neighbor and their children become revealed, until big twists at the end reveal themselves. <br/><br/>If you are looking for an easy read and enjoy neighborhood domestic thrillers, I would recommend this one for you. <br/><br/>Many thanks to @macmillian.audio for my complimentary audiobook and @SMPress for the arc. All thoughts my own."

"This book disappointed and was mostly underwhelming. One of the main characters is about 17 and their account is rough to get through at times. The last 1/4 of this book was suspenseful and entertaining however. "

"There were a lot of different storylines at play in this neighborhood thriller and some were more engaging than others. By the end, there were some connections between characters that left me feeling a bit confused and wondering if I missed some plot points along the way.<br/><br/>I think this would be a good pool or beach read this summer!<br/><br/>Thanks to NetGalley for the digital ARC."
