A Good Neighborhood by Therese Anne Fowler
5.0
I love when I read a story that makes me think about it throughout the day. Every now and again I found myself pondering what was being laid out in A Good Neighborhood. I kept trying to figure out what might happen next, the sorts of things we readers do when we really, really like a story.
Toward the end, I had figured out about Xavier. I had hoped Julia would do what she did. I gave Juniper a thumbs up at her decisions. I figured people like Brad will not change. And yes, I felt bad for the tree.
Sure, my nose got out of joint a couple times, and I got a little twitchy here and there with some of the character descriptions, or sometimes when the neighborhood's collective voice might have been conveying the author's own political opinion. How much attention did I pay to that? Not much.
What mattered was what the heck was going on in this story! It was incredibly written and told.
Highly recommend!
