A story that gives new meaning to getting in your neighbor’s business. One woman’s family has suffered a very grim circumstance, another was that popular girl in school but now life has taken a big turn, and a third has the perfect set-up but is missing one thing. A crime has been committed in a small town in Ireland and Martha does not feel safe in her own home. She moves her family to Dublin where unbeknownst to her, she is entering a tight circle of friends who are embroiled in each other’s lives. Robin is back home living with her parents, raising her little boy, as a single mother, trying to steer clear of the child’s father. Out of work and out of love. Edin, a newlywed, and delightedly so, has the house, but not the baby she craves nor the friendship of the women around her. She will do anything to befriend them. The neighborhood chat group on Pine Road is so snarky that it could be a stand-alone book itself. The women in this fast-paced drama are all up in each other’s business every waking moment. It gives new reason for not living on a cul-de-sac. But it makes for a really good read.
