Publisher's summary

Nobody’s perfect—although one beautiful couple certainly comes close. Discover the cracks beneath the polished surface in this unsettling short story from bestselling author Minka Kent.

Veronica and Ryan Hartley are the envy of Auburn Drive. When the exclusive neighborhood hosts its annual progressive dinner party, the couple’s perfection is on display. The neighbors are obsessed—entranced by the “it” couple’s movie-star looks and smoldering gazes. But is the perfect pair too good to be true?

People Like Them is part of Obsession, a collection of compulsively readable short stories about people pushed to their extremes. So addictive you won’t be able to put them down—read or listen to each story in a single sitting.

Behind Closed Doors

This story is neatly done told from each wife's perspective. A lot about envy from various perspectives and not truly knowing anyone's story that occurs behind closed doors. We show people what we want them to see. Note there is some general talk of domestic violence that some may find triggering. Although I get the ending, it is rather disturbing still.

Predictable, but a good short listen

Entertaining for the hour and since it’s not long I don’t feel like I’m trudging through it. Predicted the ending except for the extra little twist so fun!

Great story and performance!

I really enjoyed this story and the performance of the voice actors was great! Amazon has done a wonderful job with their short story originals.
