Welcome to the neighborhood. Watch your husband, watch your friends, and watch your back.
Cat Winthorpe has worked hard to get what she has: a gorgeous home; social standing; and William, her successful, handsome husband. Then a friendly new couple moves into the estate next door. While cautious, a good neighbor like Cat greets them with open arms and warm hospitality.
Neena Ryder isn't a fellow lady of leisure. A life coach with off-the-rack dresses, personal issues, and a husband who hasn't delivered, she's anxious to move up in the world. This beautiful new town is a step in the right direction. It's also making Neena aware of what she doesn't have. Namely, William. When Neena's infatuation escalates into obsession, it's just a matter of eliminating a few obstacles to get the life she wants. The life next door.
As Neena's secret fixation grows, so does her friendship with Cat. But beneath their cordial interactions is a wealth of temptations, secrets, and toxic jealousy. For both women, the desire for a perfect life can turn perfectly dangerous.
"[A] chilling tale of deceit and betrayal...Torre keeps the suspense high up to the shocking reveal behind Neena's arrest. Credible characters complement the fast-paced plot. Readers will be riveted from page one." - Publishers Weekly
"Torre raises the heat on the plotting and counterplotting with such delicate mastery that even readers who can see perfectly well where this is all going will race to watch it get there. Deliciously, sublimely nasty: Mean Girls for grown-ups." - Kirkus Reviews
"A glamorous and seductive novel that will suck you in and knock you sideways. I love this story, these characters, and the raw emotion they generated in me. I devoured every word. Exceptional." - Tarryn Fisher, New York Times bestselling author
"Raw and riveting. A clever ride that will make you question everyone and everything." - Meredith Wild, #1 New York Times bestselling author
