In this superb new psychological thriller, an unraveling woman becomes fixated on her neighbor - the beautiful, successful actress. Trapped in a rundown apartment and dead-end job, the unnamed narrator is unhappily childless and recently separated. She can’t help noticing with wry irony that the actress, meanwhile, has her face on the side of every bus, a gleaming brownstone, a handsome husband, and three beautiful children, including a baby. Though they live just a few doors apart, the two women are separated by a chasm of professional success and personal fulfillment.

Captivating and haunting - well written POV
Revisado: 03-24-23
When I first started this book I struggled to get into the story. I decided to try again a few weeks later and found that I couldn't stop listening. The way the author writes this character's narrative is captivating and haunting. I found myself despising the main character, but also sympathizing for her as well as empathizing with the pain and torment she must feel. Some of her negative thoughts are just cognitive distortions about peoples' intentions, something I struggle with. But good Lord, what a warning to evaluate yourself and not spiral into madness!! I'd love to read a version from the others' POV, how life isn't perfect for the actress and then she starts noticing the strange neighbor creeping around her. How Bernardo felt manipulated into sleeping with her, the other students' and school boards thoughts, Nathan's side of their marriage, and Mrs H trying to help her.
