About this deal

I got bored being home alone all the time. My husband is an Executive Accountant and doesn't want me to work. So I stay home, clean the house, surf the net, play tennis, and do my next door neighbor.

This book is told in multiple POV’s and one POV is in the past. The chapters are not labeled with who’s POV it is so it was a little confusing at first. The past POV is labeled. A complex story that involves three couples, all with marriage problems. Trigger warning that physical abuse is involved in some of the marriages. Given this strong reaction, and despite how much I loved the rest of the book, a three star rating is all I can give. Two houses. Two front doors. One family. And we’re going to make it work. Nothing can possibly go wrong. Today we move into our new houses, right next door to each other. My ex-husband and me. He’s with someone else. So am I. I really enjoy this author's work - always a tense intriguing psychological thriller....however if i had to choose I would say this is my favourite so far

The reader is also confused by it all. I also suspected everyone and even started to wonder if Jess had some mental health issues, so the book kept me guessing which I love. It was well-written, but I missed feeling more connected to Jess. It’s good that you can read a book in one sitting, but I didn’t get to know her personality and therefore it wasn’t easy to care about what happened to her or her family. The Wife Next Door is a thriller that draws you in - starting relatively slowly as you get to know the characters, it then takes off as the twists start coming and becomes a book you won’t want to put down. It’s not always an easy read, focusing as it does on domestic abuse, but it is nonetheless compelling.

The feel-good part of the story didn’t last much longer. Hours after they move in, Jess received a threatening message in a card (which mysteriously disappeared before she could show it to Ben), and she was hurt when she discovered Ben, Rob, and Carol decided (without her input) to take down the fence between the two houses. Things continued to go downhill from there, and Jess became increasingly suspicious of everyone around her. I was swallowed whole by “The Wife Next Door” just like Alice in Wonderland and along with the many red herrings and rabbit holes I found this book to be a highly entertaining journey.

This one left a burning in my gut that wasn't just acid. From the start it was a bit of a mystery. The prologue had no names so all that was known was it was a woman in danger. The living arrangement was bizarre for me. The calm just friends split that decide to live right next door to each other for the sake of their son? I don't see it. All the pet peeves and strain would've been already there with he whole love to hate scale.

Now I have ** with him on a regular basis, and my husband is clueless. Once my husband called home and I was talking to him on the phone when my neighbor was going down on me, lol. Jess and Rob aren’t your typical divorcing couple. Their split was a mutual decision, and both moved on to new relationships. Hoping to make these big changes a little easier for their son to adapt to, they decided—along with new partners Ben and Carol and their respective children—to buy a pair of houses and live next door to one another. Everything seems perfect, until Jess receives an ominous message. When unsettling things begin to happen, Jess feels targeted… but by whom, and why?Jess and her ex have moved next to each other with their new respective partners. Not the most normal set up but this is for them to work as blending their extended family.

Redemptiontv.net is home to some of the best exploitation, sexploitation and Japanese pink films ever made. Here you will find works by the extraordinary director Jean Rollin whose unique, almost fairytale-like take on the vampire is still enthralling and gaining fans as people continue to discover his work. Also, available here are numerous examples of Pink cinema, a uniquely Japanese genre in which drama, human relationships and eroticism are mashed with humour or sometimes horror and served up as feature films that are often eccentrically individualistic, highly creative and never, ever, dull. The author handles the difficult subjects of domestic abuse and alcoholism with great sensitivity, and if occasionally the reader feels 'cheated' because events weren't at all as originally portrayed, perhaps that is just reflecting life - we never really know what goes on in a marriage. This is a very complicated story, which seems to be very straightforward on the surface; so very skilfully written. It starts slowly and builds slowly. Nothing is rushed. It is, in some ways, a domestic melodrama in which each little detail is placed, just so. It is told largely from Jane’s point of view, but we have access to information about the two relationships – Evan and Ashleigh in the present, Les and Cynthia in the late sixties and early seventies – which Jane does not; even though she is present in both cases. At heart, therefore, about how the interpretation of events is dependent on the preconceptions of the observer. The resolutions are not difficult to deduce, but the plot is deftly handled. I thought the epilogue felt a bit too long, but it does tie up the story lines. Amanda Brooke is one of my favourite authors so I was delighted to receive an arc of this book and couldn’t wait to start it. As always this author writes from the heart about real people and realThis is an extremely shameful addition to my watched list, I went way too far down the rabbit hole. I saw this on an a tastefully erotic list on here and those movies are far from porn. They are movies with sex in them but there are maybe a couple of sex scenes. I wanted to stop watching this movie once I figured out what it was, but I always commit no matter how bad or in this case uncomfortable a movie makes me. What would it be like to move with your new significant other next door to your ex and his new lady? When a couple divorce, they want to make sure their child isn’t affected by it. Both have new partners with children of their own and they buy 2 houses next door to each other so that they can continue to help each other out. Good for her, she need extra which she was not getting, you need to take her in and make flirt and ware sexier shot skirts no undies and no bra, then I loved the friendship between Jane & Sheena it definitely gave off similar vibes of the bond their parents had.
