littlebabyducks 's review for:

The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena
3.0

I think I would have rated this book higher if all the characters hadn't been such SCHMUCKS. There were too many convenient character flaws that made for convenient who/what/whys. I could hardly believe they'd made it so far in their careers and lives.

HOWEVER.
This was still a lot of fun. There were twists and turns that kept me reading late into the night, and I was able to suspend my disbeliefs long enough to just enjoy the ride. Don't stop to get nitpicky about the writing. Don't stop to think that this would never happen. Don't get your feathers ruffled about the ending (you'll either love it or hate it).

3-ish Stars
