Cul-de-sac by Joy Fielding
4.0

Thank you to Ballantine and Netgalley for letting me read this book early. This one publishes 8/10

This book is quite a ride! I normally hate reading about a million characters because I have a hard time keeping them organized in my head, but Joy Fielding does a wonderful job with making them all different enough to help keep you on track. I was very engrossed with this book and ended up reading it pretty quickly. It was very entertaining and I definitely recommend it but must mention there are a plethora of trigger warnings in this one.

At the beginning of the story you learn someone has just been shot and then we travel backwards and get to know all the neighbors living in this cul-de-sac together before the shooting. A diverse group of neighbors, who all have their fare share of secrets. And all have access to guns.
