A review by emilyorrwhat
Good Neighbors by Sarah Langan

dark emotional mysterious reflective tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? N/A
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.5

I absolutely loved this book. I couldn’t put it down! Read in a day because it was such a page turner. I love the author’s writing style and the way she built up the suspense while foreshadowing the events. Loved how unpredictable the story was, even with the flash forwards. 

Definitely worth the time I spent reading it, and will be reading more of Langan!

Content Warnings

Graphic: Child abuse

Moderate: Addiction, Toxic friendship, Pedophilia, Violence, Child death, and Gun violence

a core topic in this book is one of the characters being falsely accused of pedophilia, so it is mentioned often, but it never actually occurs in the book.
