Product Information

Great literature, it's not, but it's something of a page-turner that I probably would have finished in one sitting had time allowed.

In that way, the series is more like women’s fiction, exploring all of the complicated emotions around becoming who we are. When I’m writing a chapter, I’m starting with how they feel and what matters most to them about what’s happening.

We never learn the motives of the "bad guy" at the end of the book, nor the motives of the "bad guy's" spouse's reaction (which seemed over-the-top. It took less than a week to realize a more accurate sobriquet would have been JAY (he’s a Plotthound who needs LOTS of exercise and affection, and even my daughters consider him a total himbo).

and by frank I mean talk that I would never in a million years utter out of my lips in front of anyone-maybe I'm a secret prude) I continued reading the book but feel it needs a warning to those who will feel gut punched and suckered by not knowing what they are getting into. But there is so much more than meets the eye and I had to take notes to keep track of all the great twists and turns! Nor do we really learn the motives behind the reaction of the neighbor who witnesses the confrontation, as the reaction of this neighbor also struck me as unexpected/odd.

In a neighborhood that just recently finished reading Fifty Shades of Grey and then discovered fetlife and google sheets, one woman must confront her past and being a new mother and postpartum depression and moving into a tiny house and fitting into the perfect neighborhood, all while learning how social media works. she is a thirty something woman struggling with her temporary stay at home mom role in her home in a exclusive neighborhood.

What they don’t know is in the AV lies something sinister behind that Stepford facade and all of the gushy, ‘be my bff’ ‘no, be MY bff’ goodness.

It's very hot, but the emotional attachments between the two couples and then between Heaven and Tasha is just great. This ambiguous status makes the neighbor particularly interesting as an entry point into issues of cultural complexity, self-definition and identity. Where I come from standing on the sidewalk talking about which one of the male neighbors has a tongue that can make you quiver is SEX TALK.

You will already have gathered from the synopsis and other reviews that the story involves a young couple with a baby moving into their dream house in a very community spirited village so I won’t elaborate further. But she’s an avid tennis fan, a passionate reader of both fiction and nonfiction—especially memoir (nothing’s as juicy as the truth! Also, they are the new parents of Sadie and this brings on challenges of its own, including the distance that has developed between Kat and Doug. Everything is seemingly perfect, just the kind of life Kat dreamed of providing for their picture perfect daughter.

Kat is a struggler, she struggles with just about everything like her self esteem, her marriage and sex life, money, her successes and/or failures as a mother, her new home, her new neighbors/friends and her in laws whom she does not like.

Somebody is leaving unpleasant notes at their house, stealing their parcels and perhaps spiking Kat's drinks. A Pattern Book for Neighborly Houses provides both an operating manual and prototype house designs that will enable Habitat for Humanity affiliates to design houses that build strong neighborhoods and accommodate the future homeowner. She doesn’t want her house to be an eyesore for the block party welcoming them the next day, and what the neighbors don’t know won’t hurt them. I’ve heard talk that you will be writing in the expanded Neighborly Affection universe, so to speak. Stephen does what he can to alleviate the aches Tasha has from working in a nail salon, but never trying to get her to change her dreams or job.
