roohii 's review for:
The Stay-at-Home Mother
by Nicole Trope
Ever read a book that makes it immediately clear that you’re going to go pick up every other book the author has ever written? This is exactly that kind of book. This story tells the story of Andrea and Gabby, who become friendly after Andrea moves in across the street. Andrea has a toddler and is heavily pregnant with her second, while Gabby has a teenage son.
The book is told in alternating perspectives and does an exquisite job of building tension. The anxiety and uneasiness is present from the beginning and mounts from there, making it clear that something is rapidly about to go very wrong with this surface level friendship of two mothers in a nice suburban neighborhood.
The author did a phenomenal job of keeping me on the edge of my seat! Every time I thought I knew what was happening, I was wrong. The twists are well executed and fresh, the story is well written, and the pacing is just right - not too slow and not too dizzyingly fast. I already look forward to reading her next one!
