Publisher's summary

Two houses. Two front doors. One family. And we’re going to make it work. Nothing can possibly go wrong....

Today we move into our new houses, right next door to each other. My ex-husband and me. He’s with someone else. So am I.

We’re still the best of friends. We’re making sure we’re not like every other separating couple. We know we will make it work. We’ve even knocked down the fences between the houses, so the children can all run between both homes.

But it seems not everyone likes this big, blended stepfamily. I try to ignore the scary note in the "new home" card and the red pen scrawled through my divorce paperwork. But I can’t pretend it’s all okay when an accusation is made against me that could destroy my life, my home, and my family forever.

Now I can’t help but think someone doesn’t like what’s happening under our two roofs. Or perhaps someone doesn’t like there being a wife next door....

What they don’t know is that they’re messing with the wrong person....

A completely unpauseable, jaw-on-the-floor psychological thriller for fans of Girl on the Train, Gone Girl, and The Couple at No.9.

The main female character… ugh

I listened to the first 1/3 or so, then skipped to the last 4 chapters and felt like I missed nothing. It should have been a 2-3hr mini novel. I don’t say this lightly- don’t spend a credit on this one. Narration is very good. The women are characterized as weak, pushovers, and victims. The men are just awful humans. They all deserved each other. Spoiler alert-
A mom that doesn’t follow up on suspected child abuse because she doesn’t want her partner upset with her or worried how she is coming across to others is a selfish turd.
