Cat Winthrope worked hard to get what she has: social standing, a luxurious lifestyle, and her husband William. Neena Ryder hasn’t had such a well-off life and is ready to do whatever it takes to move up in the world. When Neena and her lackluster husband move in next door to the Winthropes, Neena gets to know Cat and learns of all the things she could have. Neena becomes obsessed with William and closer with Cat. Beneath their cordial relationship is a wealth of deception, temptation, and toxic jealousy. And the desire for a perfect life turns dangerous.
I love a good domestic thriller, and this one definitely delivered! It’s been a while since I’ve read a thriller and this one was great. This was a quick read with short chapters and I was able to get through it quickly. Both Neena and Cat were super flawed and unlikeable characters and the drama and mind games between them were juicy. The writing was good and suspenseful and kept me wanting to know what happened next. I also like that the ending resolved the story fully. Sometimes thrillers leave plot lines open or end on a bit of a cliffhanger and as a person who likes to know everything I appreciate that this novel didn’t do that. Overall this was a good one and I recommend it!
