Perfectly Nice Neighbors by Kia Abdullah

3.5

Dog spoilers if you (like me) want to know what happens to the dog before reading:
The dog ends up being fine. She is used as a pawn in the dispute between neighbors and goes “missing” for two weeks. We see the family struggle with this and they even find her but can’t get her back right away, and they see she’s injured and not being treated well. This was distressing to read but ultimately she gets returned and ends up just fine. 
I almost DNFed at this point, and I had to knock my rating down a bit because of this subplot, but I’m glad I pushed through because this was an  engaging read. In the last 100 pages or so, the twists kept on coming. Very thought-provoking. I also particularly enjoyed the courtroom segment.
