The perfect neighbors : a novel / Sarah Pekkanen.
Bucolic Newport Cove, where spontaneous block parties occur on balmy nights and all of the streets are named for flowers, is proud of its distinction of being named one the top twenty safest neighborhoods in the US. It's also one of the most secret-filled. Kellie, Susan, and Gigi are long-time residents and close friends. But behind closed doors, each woman is hiding something. Kellie has just returned to work after a decade at home, and she finds herself relishing the attention of her very handsome, very married male colleague. Susan is a single mom and a small-business owner, but late at night, she's stalking her ex-husband and his new girlfriend. Gigi is poised to become the perfect politician's wife--except she has skeletons in her closet, which are in danger of being brought into the light now that her husband is running for congress. Then a new family moves into the neighborhood. Tessa seems friendly enough to the other mothers, if a bit reserved. But when no one is ever invited to Tessa's house, it becomes clear that she is hiding the biggest secret of all. -- Provided by publisher.
