Many thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for gifting me a digital copy of the domestic thriller by Rebecca Taylor - 4.5 stars!
Alyson, her husband, Justin, and their 5-year-old son, Andrew, have just moved into the Enclave - an exclusive development in Boulder CO. Their home is more of a starter home and doesn't compete with the multi-million dollar homes a street away. Alyson is desperate to give her son the childhood she didn't have and to have a good group of girlfriends she can rely on. Bonnie Sloan is the queen of the neighborhood in addition to running for Senate, with the nicest house, successful husband, the son headed to Yale. But things aren't always as they seem to outsiders. Progress is threatening to encroach on the wonderful neighbor views and tensions are escalating. When a teenager is found dead, gossip and rumors erupt.
This was just a fun book to get lost in - easy reading, with relatable characters even when they made questionable decisions. Alyson is so insecure and desperate to fit into her new world that she ignores what's going on inside her own home. Meanwhile, Bonnie is desperate to hold onto her own crumbling world. A good reminder not to judge others on outside appearances. Definitely pick this one up!
