2.5
Cute concept, but it didn’t work for me. This relied on familiar tropes, but all the ones I dislike.
Scene: 🇺🇸 Upstate NY
Perspective: We follow a character moving into their dream home (literally) with their spouse. They are pregnant with the couple’s first child and are open to finding friends among their new neighbours.
🤔 Random Thoughts
I liked the hit of how it can all go wrong when you invite neighbours into your life, but it didn’t progress much from there.
The dialogue felt so stilted and not how people interact.
Unlikable plot device: A character freaks out (rightfully so) then effortlessly dives into their most feared situations, especially when a short wait would allow them to include others for safety.
Mood Reading Match-Up:
-Frogs. Crickets. Doorbell. Fireplace heat. Baking bread. Musty basement
-Uneasy new neighbourhood…tradition or something more ominous?
-What Would You Do narratives
Content Heads-Up: Pregnancy. Paranoia. Voyeur/peeping. Dementia/memory loss.
Rep: Lesbian. Androgynous. Cisgender. Heterosexual. White and ambiguous Americans.
📚 Format: Kindle Unlimited
