Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The hilarious new book from the million-copy best-selling author of Faking Friends and Tell Me a Secret.

When Laura's marriage falls apart, she needs to find a home for her and her daughter. And quickly.

Welcome to the Close, a beautiful street of mansions, where Laura rents a tiny studio above a garage and gorgeous Stella is the indisputable queen bee who soon suspects Laura of having designs on her fiancé.

But when Laura unearths the ghastly secret he is hiding, it threatens Stella's perfectly curated world as well as Laura's career.

Hatching an elaborate plan to beat him at his own game, these former enemies are now best friends.

But has Laura forgotten that revenge always comes with a sting in the tail?

It was OK to pass the time

I love JF novels but by the 3rd chapter I was struggling to stay interested. I kept going to prove the negative reviews wrong (& I really enjoyed the narration) but the story just doesn't go anywhere. I didn't bond to any character, there were no highs or lows, just a story about a struggling divorced mother and clicky rich women with a few lies thrown around. It passed the time but that's all it did

Negative star review SAVE YOUR TIME

Where to start...
Jo Joyner did a great job with the material that they gave her.
¿Are we sure that Jane Fallon wrote this? In general her stories have characters DEVELOPMENT.
Which is NOT what happens here.
In general i read her books because of how relatable the characters are, and how you can blend in the placees/ society that she describes . Spoiler alerte there isn't enough development for you to blend in or relate to the characters.
The book was SO BAD, i almost didn't finished it! (and i'm the type that ALWAYS finishes a book).
The book is extremely superficial, in the firsts chapters you already know the characters, don't expect nothing more. At first you think that there is a story (and being a Jane Fallon fan i expected plot twists), its all superficial and linear.
