Welcome to the neighborhood. Watch your husband, watch your friends, and watch your back. Cat Winthorpe has worked hard to get what she has: a gorgeous home; social standing; and William, her successful, handsome husband. Then a friendly new couple moves into the estate next door. While cautious, a good neighbor like Cat greets them with open arms and warm hospitality. Neena Ryder isn’t a fellow lady of leisure. A life coach with off-the-rack dresses, personal issues, and a husband who hasn’t delivered, she’s anxious to move up in the world. This beautiful new town is a step in the right direction. It’s also making Neena aware of what she doesn’t have. Namely, William. When Neena’s infatuation escalates into obsession, it’s just a matter of eliminating a few obstacles to get the life she wants. The life next door. As Neena’s secret fixation grows, so does her friendship with Cat. But beneath their cordial interactions is a wealth of temptations, secrets, and toxic jealousy. For both women, the desire for a perfect life can turn perfectly dangerous.

I was a bit apprehensive reading another new-neighbor-tries-to-steal-rich-womans-life-and-husband-with-a-twist type thriller, so soon after my last, but I actually enjoyed it more than I was expecting! You could see the "twist" coming a mile away, in fact, I'm not even sure it was meant to be a surprise, and I liked that. It felt appropriate and I didn't have to be annoyed at something ill-fitting thrown in last minute. I was actually really pleased with the ending too, definitely different than most in the genre and unexpectedly pleasant. It all just came together nicely and was easy and enjoyable to fly through!
