Having it all, wanting it all and doing whatever you can to keep what is yours while someone else is trying to take it from you makes for juicy reading.
This book gives new meaning to the phrases “watch your back”, “watch your husband”, and “watch out for fake friends” My advice – Just Watch Out!
Cat Winthorpe has it all. Good looks, a good looking successful, wealthy husband, a beautiful home, social standing and connections in the community. Neena Ryder is a life coach, who has high aspirations, a loving husband, personal issues and a desire to take what is not hers. Moving next door to the Winthorpes, she soon envies what Cat has and sets her eyes on William, Cat’s husband.
Neena, who works for William, beings to become a fixture in their lives. She is constantly around, having get togethers, jogging with William, and making underhanded comments about Cat’s cooking and fertility issues.
Cat is on to Neena while Neena’s poor husband Matt appears to be oblivious….
Whatever will happen? ln the beginning of the book we get a glimpse into how things are going to end, or do we???
This was a fun book that I easily read in one day. I did not want to put it down. Its great escapism reading. Did it have some faults? Will you see how things are going to turn out? Most likely yes, but will you care? I did not! For me, this book was like my favorite amusement park ride, I know what I am in for, I know what I am going to get out of it, but it is still thrilling every single time! That is how I feel about this book. I saw so many things coming but did not care because it was fun, light and entertaining.
Yes, we have all read books about women fighting with each other over a man, we have read about cheaters and the consequences of cheating, we have read about social climbers, envy and desperation. Many have experienced this in real life, but what is fun about this book is that it is a little over the top. The characters are not that likeable, they are always up to something, and have devious intentions. Will you feel sorry for anyone in this book? Will you like the ending? Will you enjoy this wild ride of a book as much as I did?
I gave this book high marks for the pure entertainment and enjoyment it provided.
This was a captivating page turner and I loved reading about Neena and Cat battling each other all while having smiles on their faces and through gritted teeth.
Entertaining, Fun and gutsy. Highly recommend.
