Every Last Secret

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.

3.5 Stars - They refer to Cat as psycho at the end, but um, you better believe I would do all that too if some little hussy was trying to steal my life…

This is my jam in between 'heavier' books. I really enjoy reading about strong female character frenemies... or enemies... and the clever ways they torture each other. Revenge, betrayal, love?, money, envy- all that makes for a good somewhat trashy thriller.

Wow A.R. Torre really wrote a chilling thriller!
I just finished this book last night and had to give it a moment while I soaked in the ending.
It's a neighborhood gossip thriller, with money, backstabbing, and big secrets.

This was one of those thrillers where there are actually no innocent parties, and then you find yourself rooting for certain characters anyways.
I sat back and clapped at Torre for even making me take sides, putting in my mental bets on who I wanted to come out triumphant at the end.

My loyalties might have wavered as well, each chapter had alternating points of views for the two main women. Did I want the housewife to come out on top? Or the ambitious newbie?

It all made for a tantalizing ride of emotions and well worth the read. This is the the kind of thriller I love to read!
