The Family Next Door

"Not a fan 👎🏼"

"So good!!!! A page turner that I raced through to get to the end!"

"I couldn’t read this one. WAY too much talk about dieting, exercise for weight loss, and all around fat phobia, etc. if you struggle with body image or ED, I don’t recommend "

"Similar to Lianne moriarty. Easy read."

"An easy, somewhat predictable, yet enjoyable read. "

"It was good. I don’t know if I really connected to anyone enough to care other than Isabelle and Essie, but it was a solid read. The ending felt a little too neat for me."

"Sally Hepworth, you have redeem yourself in my eyes! Each one of these families have something going on in each one of these houses!! <br/><br/>Each one pretending to prefect when they open that door! And walk out! I loved it from the 1st page to the last page! It was a nice step from the dark books I been reading but still with the thriller feel!! <br/><br/>I wanted to know what was happening asap! Lol I was wrong on what was actually happening tho!!"

""Something no one told you about real life was that it was complicated." <br/>If the women of Pleasant Court put as much effort into their relationships as they do maintaining their pristine facades, they might actually find some happiness. On the surface, Pleasant Court is the picture-perfect neighborhood, home to families who seem to have it all together. But behind the trimmed hedges and immaculate lawns lies many secrets.<br/><br/>Then there is the arrival of a single woman—husbandless and childless—that throws Pleasant Court off its axis. Her very existence disrupts the carefully curated image of the community. In fact, they go so far as to speculate about her sexuality—because surely, no one would willingly move into their idyllic neighborhood without a husband or kids in tow, right?<br/><br/>From the moment she enters the story, her misplacement is obvious, even to the reader. But her reasoning is what keeps us reading. As her story unfolds, she quickly became my favorite character. In a neighborhood defined by secrecy, she’s refreshingly authentic—always ready to help, always there to listen, no matter how messy or dark the confession. She brought a light to the story that I desperately wished to see mirrored in the rest of the characters.<br/><br/>This book kept me hooked, with twists that left my jaw dropping more times than I could count. By the time the final revelations came, I was eagerly turning pages, soaking in every detail of this gripping, complicated tale."

"Similar to Big Little Lies. I found myself reading it in large chunks at a time but then kind of forgetting about it when I wasn't reading it. Each chapter leaves off on a cliffhanger than makes you want to read more and there's a twist you won't see coming"

"It was pretty good "
