   Books Read in 2022 (2,394) No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. A bookgroup, neighborhood vandalism, local gossip, and a "long-ago" accident. It was interesting, but the women seemed too gossipy. (  ) LivelyLady | Jun 2, 2023 |  Entertaining book, although a little slow in the beginning. I liked the ending, which was somewhat unexpected. I believe I'll check out the author's other books. ( ) flourgirl49 | Aug 21, 2022 | So good! I love a book I can instantly feel a part of, no waiting pages and chapters to get into it, waiting for something to get me invested. This neighborhood group of women has a book club that meets each month. Of course, they all have something else going on in their lives and that's what makes the reading so interesting. I loved reading about Annie and her history with the Cottonwood neighborhood and Lena and her even longer history with it, Lena's slowly coming back to life within the community after the tragedy from so long ago. There are other women with similarly interesting stories, Janice, Deb, Nan, and Jen, who fill the story with their lives. The book has a few twists, some seen, some not, to make the reading so fun and quick! I would instantly pick up another book by this author. (  ) relorenz1064 | Nov 21, 2021 | Despite two homicides, I felt this was “light reading”… and that is not a criticism. I found the book to be entertaining. Perhaps it was the ladies of the book club who were presented with humor, yet quite realistic! There are a couple of secrets to unravel here and as one reads there are hints of some impending catastrophe and one from the past is slowly revealed as well. A fast, well paced read. (  ) vkmarco | Oct 17, 2021 | I wanted to like this book because it was about books and bookclubs. It felt like esperate Housewives. I've read a few that were at least enjoyable. I found it all over the place and it never came together for me. I usually give a book 50-100 pages but I didn't even make it to page 50. Too many characters to follow and I couldn't remember whose kids belonged to who. It was slow. I skimmed through the book to see who the murderer was (I knew who the "victim" was) but couldn't find it. (  ) sweetbabyjane58 | Oct 17, 2021 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
"L. Alison Heller, whose work has been praised by Liane Moriarty as "warm, witty...refreshingly true to life," explores the ultimate sacrifices of parenting in The Neighbor's Secret, a propulsive and juicy novel filled with gripping twists and instantly recognizable characters. How well do you really know your neighbors? With its sprawling yards and excellent schools, Cottonwood Estates is the perfect place to raise children. The Cottonwood Book Club serves as the subdivision's eyes and ears, meeting once a month for discussion, gossip, and cocktails. If their selections trend toward twisty thrillers and salacious murder mysteries, it's only because the members feel secure that such evil has no place in their own cul-de-sacs. Or does it? What happened to Lena's family fifteen years ago was a tragic accident, and she will never admit otherwise. Devoted wife and mother Annie refuses to acknowledge-even to herself-the weight of a past shame. And new resident Jen wants friends, but as always, worry about her troubled son gets in the way. When late-night acts of vandalism target the women of the book club in increasingly violent and personal ways, they will be forced to decide how far to go to keep their secrets. At least they all agree on what's most important: protecting their children at any cost-even if it means someone has to die"-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
