A review by tamaralgage1
Cul-De-Sac by Joy Fielding
5.0
WOW … By the time I got to the end of this book, I could not put it down. For those of you that know me, NO I DID NOT READ THE END. So I had to stay up well past midnight to see who would kill who in this highly dysfunctional neighbor/family dynamic.
For 5 years of my life, I lived on a Cul-de-sac and somehow I feel cheated. Or perhaps I am the teenager that is so self-absorbed that I didn't even notice what was going on with the rest of the neighbors. But I believe that just about every social issue is covered by at least one of the families. Now, roll them all into a ball (or Cul de Sac) and least see what happens.
Just a heads up … there are a lot of characters and storylines. I keep notes of the character names, who was married to who, children, the helicopter mother in law, the struggling PTSD character(s), … Don't worry about who owns guns. They all do. I rated this book a 5* because it was very entertaining and I learned more than I ever wanted to about life.
