Today\u2019s Preview is Good Neighbors by Sarah Langan which publishes February 2.  This book is in the General Fiction genre and has a great Goodreads rating at 4.17 based on 156 ratings. I chose this book because I love fiction set in communities that on appearance look idyllic, but on the inside are something very different.  <\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the <b><u>Publisher\u2019s Notes<\/u><\/b>:<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201c  Welcome to Maple Street, a picture-perfect slice of suburban Long Island, its residents bound by their children, their work, and their illusion of safety in a rapidly changing world. <br \/>Arlo Wilde, a gruff has-been rock star who\u2019s got nothing to show for his fame but track marks, is always two steps behind the other dads. His wife, beautiful ex-pageant queen Gertie, feels socially ostracized and adrift. Spunky preteen Julie curses like a sailor and her kid brother Larry is called \u201cRobot Boy\u201d by the kids on the block.<\/p>\n<p>Their next-door neighbor and Maple Street\u2019s Queen Bee, Rhea Schroeder\u2014a lonely community college professor repressing her own dark past\u2014welcomes Gertie and family into the fold. Then, during one spritzer-fueled summer evening, the new best friends share too much, too soon.<\/p>\n<p>As tensions mount, a sinkhole opens in a nearby park, and Rhea\u2019s daughter Shelly falls inside. The search for Shelly brings a shocking accusation against the Wildes that spins out of control. Suddenly, it is one mom\u2019s word against the other\u2019s in a court of public opinion that can end only in blood.<\/p>\n<p>A riveting and ruthless portrayal of American suburbia, Good Neighbors excavates the perils and betrayals of motherhood and friendships and the dangerous clash between social hierarchy, childhood trauma, and fear\u201d.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Have I piqued your interest?  Let me know your thoughts!  I\u2019ll be reading this book soon and will review it here  at the end of January.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/#\">Add Good Neighbors to your Goodreads shelf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I hope you have a great day!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone!
