GOOD MOTHERS…
Never show their feelings.
Never spill their secrets.
Never admit to murder.

The annual Halloween block party is the pinnacle of the year on idyllic suburban cul-de-sac Ivy Woods Drive. An influential group of neighborhood moms—known as the Ivy Five—plans the event for months.

Except the Ivy Five has been four for a long time.

When a new mother moves to town, eager to fit in, the moms see it as an opportunity to make the group whole again. This year’s block party should be the best yet... until the women start receiving anonymous messages threatening to expose the quiet neighborhood’s dark past—and the lengths they’ve gone to hide it.
As secrets seep out and the threats intensify, the Ivy Five must sort the loyal from the disloyal, the good from the bad. They’ll do anything to protect their families. But when a twisted plot is revealed, with dangerous consequences, their steady foundation begins to crumble, leaving only one certainty: after this year’s block party, Ivy Woods Drive will never be the same.

From award-winning author Tara Laskowski, The Mother Next Door is an atmospheric novel of domestic suspense in which the strive for perfection ends in murder…

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗦𝗡𝗔𝗣𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗧: I can see why this book is comparable to Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty! This is a juicy tale of suburban mothers gone wild with secrets and revenge!

The Mother Next Door is my first foray into Tara Laskowski’s novels, and I am so glad I took a chance on her novels. This book is certainly comparable to Big Little Lies as described in the blurb and I was itching to find out WHAT the truth of the matter really was. I love books like this; suburban dramas, moms gone bad, secrets, lies, gossip, and revenge! There’s just something to tantalizing about it and I eat them up at record speed! If you’re interested in books like this, then I highly recommend giving this one a try. You won’t regret it! I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for us in the future. Hopefully it’s something along the lines of this book because I’m always looking for novels like this.

I don’t want to spoil the plot for this book because it’s one of those page turners that you should really go into blind. I will say though that I liked the twist (didn’t love it but LIKED it) and was pleasantly surprised to see that I didn’t figure it out before it was revealed. Although I will admit that I do think there should have been a lot more consequences than there were… Which were none. For a book like this it seems that the ending was a little too easy. Sometimes this makes the book come off as unrealistic. Other than that, I gobbled this one up and would definitely recommend it to other readers!

𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗙𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗙𝗔𝗡𝗦 𝗢𝗙:
• Suburban Dramas and Mysteries
• Books about moms gone bad with secrets and revenge
• Authors like Liane Moriarty, Robyn Harding, and Amber Garza

𝗠𝗬 𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5)
