Neighborly: A Novel
Well, well well… 😉 what do we have here? A psych-thriller that had me guessing the whole way through. In fact, I THOUGHT I had it figured out from the start (my guess would have been pretty cool, too) but I love being wrong, because that means I’m surprised.
Was it a complete shocker? Hrmm… not really, and maybe even a bit far-fetched, but the whole journey was well worth the result, no matter what I expected.
Yes it’s a psych-thriller (no worries, nothing tooooo scary in this, but it definitely had a thrilling creep factor), but it was also a jaw-dropping social exploration of friendships, and couples (married or not) in a close-knit, well-to-do “happy and peaceful” neighborhood (nicknamed “The AV“). EVERYONE wants to live there, at almost any cost.
