Meet the new neighbours. Whose side are you on?

‘An exciting, dark novel about friendship; brutally truthful and raw’ Adele Parks, Sunday Times No. 1 bestselling author

Have you met The People at Number 9?

Sara and Neil have new neighbours in their street. Glamorous and chaotic, Gav and Lou make Sara’s life seem dull. As the two couples become friends, sharing suppers, red wine and childcare, it seems a perfect couples-match. But the more Sara sees of Gav and Lou, the more she longs to change her own life. But those changes will come at a price.

I really enjoyed this book both from the development of the characters and its narration. I found myself drawn into the characters, their everyday lives and the unfurling complexity of friendships

Loved it

This was well written and the characters so well drawn I felt I knew them. The narrator was very good and I enjoyed listening to this book as I did my chores over a few days.
However, I did want a bit more spite and bite that I felt was never delivered, and the denouement, that the main characters husband is drawn to the others wife was apparent a mile off. also the ending very weak and unfair on Neil considering sara spent most of her time lusting after the husband ! If there had been more backstabbing and evil intention played out, this would have been very good indeed, as it stands, the author bottles out and it is just merely a pleasant listen.

Enjoyable characters in situations we can all relate to

Didn't enjoy this book at all. I thought the story was odd and it didn't really go anywhere. I found it a bit depressing and not like the blurb.

Odd

This was slow and weird at some stages. Not one likeable character in the book.
The last hour and a half is good, but the rest ruined it for me.
I feel this was the wrong narrator for the characters in this book.
The story was boring and I lost interest so many times. Not recommended at all

Awful
