18 posts | 21 read | 16 to read
In this intricate and enthralling domestic drama, perfect for fans of Big Little Lies and The Affair, the internationally bestselling author of the gossipy page-turner (Glamour) The Perfect Neighbors goes deep into a marriage in crisis, peeling back layers of secrets to discover where the relationship veered off courseand whether it is worth saving. Josie and Frank Moore are happyat least Josie thinks they are. As parents of two young girls in the Chicago suburbs, their days can be both busy and monotonous, and sometimes Josie wonders how she became a harried fortysomething mother rather than the driven career woman she once was. But Frank is a phenomenal father, hes handsome and charismatic, and he still looks at his wife like shes the beautiful woman he married more than a decade ago. Josie isnt just happyshes lucky. Until one Saturday morning when Josie borrows her husbands phone to make a quick calland sees nine words that shatter her world. Now Josie feels as if she is standing at the edge of a sharp precipice. As she looks back at pivotal moments in the relationship she believed would last forever, she is also plunging ahead, surprising everyone (especially herself) with how far she will go to uncover the extent of her husbands devastating secret. With her conversational writing style and a knack for making readers care about her characters (The Washington Post) bestselling author Sarah Pekkanen paints a vivid, kaleidoscopic portrait of a marriage before and during a crisisand of a woman who fears that the biggest secret of all may be the one shes hiding from herself.

It tells the story of Josie who has just found the dreaded evidence on her husbands phone.
We then go with Josie through a variation of present day and flashback chapters which details the extent she goes to to reveal the betrayal and her own examination of their marriage through the years piecing together where it all fell apart.
This is raw and real and explores all our questions of what we would do if placed in this situation.

May 11, 2020 Really enjoyed the book. It only revolved around one event but it ends on a good note. High note I should say. 4.5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

It wasn‘t what I was expecting but I still enjoyed it. It‘s a domestic read, not much action. But it explores the impact of an affair on one particular marriage with nuance and sensitivity.

Good, quick read so far. It‘s basically the aftermath of an affair as experienced by the wife who‘s the victim.

I bailed. I got tried of her talking about the affair. I guess that's all the book is about. On to a better book, hopefully.

Just finished this one on audio. It was a good story, I think it could have better but not sure how. 🤔 Josie discovers a devastating secret her husband Frank is keeping from her. Can they find their way back to the way they were??? You will have to read the book for the answer to that question.

I‘ve read some not so great reviews in this- I‘m only half way thru it.. and so far, I like it. I think maybe people were expecting a suspense like “the wife between us” but it‘s not that genre. This is not a thriller at all- it‘s a book about the breakdown of a marriage. So if you go into knowing that, it‘s not disappointing. I think the publisher made a mistake saying it‘s for fans of “big little lies”-

I have like 35 pages left and I‘m just not even going to finish. Nothing happens. I get that it‘s a good insight into what goes into a wife‘s mind when her husband is unfaithful, but, nothing happens.

Reviewsbylola You know it‘s bad when you‘re almost done and you still bail. 😂 6y
guinsgirlreads @Reviewsbylola Right!? I figured there‘s NO WAY anything was going to happen now. 6y

I really liked The Wife Between Us and wanted to like this one more.

Marital problems drive Josie into therapy where she admits she likes reading alone upstairs while her husband is watching sports downstairs...
Hmmm, I thought as I read alone upstairs while my husband was downstairs watching tv. 🤔😜😂

This was the boring-est boring that ever bored. I liked Frank better than Josie! It was just so damn dull.
