Ooohhh I liked this!
This story centres on three neighbours in a quiet, suburban town of Melbourne. But how well do you REALLY know your neighbours?
Definitely one for fans of Liane Moriarty. However, it was less....for lack of better phrase, bitchy than Moriarty’s characters which I really enjoyed!
There were a few moments where I teared up (but knowing me is that really an accomplishment?) This book deals with issues such as infidelity and post-partum depression, and it was really such a great, engrossing read! I look forward to recommending it at work!

Kind of mid. Honestly the constantly changing perspectives were the only thing keeping me alive. I just find the mundanity of day to day motherhood to be really boring which is mostly my own problem.

This book was pretty good. If still had a happy feel good ending that you don’t see in a lot of thrillers, it was nice, but definitely still got that jaw dropping twist that you normally find in a thriller. The only part I wasn’t a fan of was the fact that each character was about a different character&it rotated between 5 characters so I found myself getting 2 of the ladies confused at times because I couldn’t keep them straight but overall great read.

Lots of juicy neighborhood drama, lots of POVs. One pov I felt was unnecessary and I felt the mental health part was not done as good as could have been.

This book is just totally fabulous - it's a real page turner and I just couldn't put it down. The writing is top notch, the characters are amazing, and the plot is gripping. I am now definitely a Hepworth fan - more like this please!
