Great atmosphere, interesting characters, I wasn’t able to guess the plot twist and it kept me engaged. It was quite slow though.

Ruby may have been bad news, but a neighborhood Nextdoor page is MUCH worse news. I love the inner workings of these small settings, where everyone is a garbage person. Very fun.

Anti-freeze is such a wild weapon.

A fun read that keeps you guessing and leaves you questioning your original thoughts. I expected more shock at the end, but in some ways it was a peaceful explanation of the twisted things these neighbors did to each other.

This is a very quiet thriller… there’s not a ton going on, which makes it all the more eerie. Good pacing, good twists, and an interesting take on the “what lies beneath the idyllic surface” type of mystery that I love so much.
