Almost every chapter is a different characters POV so it makes the storyline so much more interesting. You think that the plot is going one way but then you get a different persons perspective and it’ll be completely different. Totally worth the read, as soon as I started the book it was difficult to have to put it down. Stayed up wayyy too late reading for someone who’s baby is still waking up every two hours to have a bottle for the most part

A clever thriller that hits you with twists you'll never see coming. This was a fun book. The beginning was interesting, the middle moved a bit slow, but the last chapters were the most entertaining. It seems most readers absolutely loved this book, I thought it was just really good. 

Mille is a renowned heart surgeon with a dark side. Her husband, Tom, knows about her extracurricular activities, but he doesn't ask for details. Millie has some peculiar habits to tame her inner demons, so she and her husband agree on terms for her to release them. 

When the "glass house" is put up for sale, Millie is determined to buy it, no matter the cost. Millie has been obsessed with the glass house for ages and always told Tom her intention to buy it if it ever came on the market. Tom and Millie tour the house and meet the owners, Stacy and Felix. Millie, being how she is, doesn't have any friends, but she's very drawn to Stacy. As Millie draws closer to her in order to win the bid for the house, Millie realizes Stacy is hiding some dangerous secrets of her own. In the meantime, we meet Harper and Kyle, hosts of the vlog "Kyperlife." Harper and Kyle are buying Millie and Tom's house. It'll be the perfect place for their vlog and to raise their sons. These three couples' lives will merge together in unexpected ways, and some may not make it out alive. Real estate can be ruthless.😓😄 but really.... a series of events will lead to some horrific outcomes for these characters. 

You will never see the conclusion of this story coming, it's very, very clever. I had it figured out, but nope, wrong. Then I really had it figured out, no, wrong again. It made the end of the book so entertaining and fun. I haven't been fooled that good from a thriller in a while. I'm sure all readers will enjoy this story. It's a bit slow in places, but overall, it's a solid thriller
