About this audiobook

We live in a close-knit community. Thirty houses surrounding a square of garden that is perfect for our kids. We congregate here on major holidays, each family bringing a plate and sharing food and conversation. It’s in the garden that I first met her. The woman who would worm her way into my family and piece-by-piece tear it apart ...

I should have known something was wrong from the very beginning. She seemed perfect in so many ways: she floated through the baby shower, a warm smile on her face, chatting to strangers with ease. At first I thought it was sweet that she offered to help me, that she made an effort to get to know us, that she brought over games and knew Luna’s favorite foods ... I had no idea that I couldn’t trust another mother ...

I should have known that someone would eventually discover the secret in my marriage. Why I never believe a word my husband says—and why he shouldn’t believe me. But how could a woman I only just met be the one to find it out?

If I’d known, I’d have called the police sooner.

And maybe I’d have prevented that dreadful scene. Every neighbor peering through their curtains as the sirens wailed in our street.

I could have protected my family.

I could have stopped what happened next ...

I don't understand the 4 and 5 star reviews. Is it due to receiving free books? I've had to take many breaks from this audiobook. It has an all star cast of narrators but their portrayal of each dumb character was irritating. I dislike stupid, dumb, childish women. Yes, to make past mistakes often happen and is always interesting to see each perspective. This? At 78% I don't really care about the ending. There has been nothing but hints at secrets on repeat but a zero insight except the stupidity of weak characters pretending they're strong and independent, hiding their so-called secrets with a stiff upper lip. I can't even begin to explain how stupid this book is. My apologies but I actually bought this based upon many good reviews. If you receive for free, at least be honest.

I quite enjoyed it. I loved that the characters all had secrets and yet everyone was intertwined. It had me guessing right until the very end which is something that I like. A lot takes place in the 3.5 months that this book spans, but the pacing was great! Was there a whole lot of character development and layers, not really but I still got enough from them. It just goes to show you that you may not know your neighbors as well as you think you do, and no one's life is perfect!
