“It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood
A beautiful day for a neighbor
Could you be mine?
Would you be mine?” – Mr. Rogers
Single Mom Ginny has finally found love after being alone for so long. She and her daughter, Harri, move to suburban New Jersey when she marries Jeff. Ginny looks forward to meeting the neighbors, seeing her daughter make new friends, and making some new friends herself.
Welcome to the neighborhood were grown up mean girls are raising their very own mean girls.
She is thrust into the world of PTA moms, Botox, backstabbing and secret alliances. Perhaps it isn’t such a beautiful day in the neighborhood after all. But Ginny has made a friend, her neighbor, and his dog.
I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was fantastic! She really brought the story to life, and I enjoyed this book from cover to cover. This book deals with some tough subjects such as bullying, trying to fit in, unwanted sexual advances, body shaming and dieting in your girls, to name a few. But this is not a heavy book. It was a nice read/listen which also touched on mothers and daughters, being true to yourself, sticking up for yourself, finding your own community, and love.
Thank you to Dreamscape Media and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
