I think sometimes I'm not as bothered by unrealistic/excessive plots if I'm distracted by amazing writing on great characterization, but the book kinda fell flat for me there. Given the high Goodreads rating, though, I guess not everyone felt like I did!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065930972046877154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973789943830816374.post-29444944790520522442016-08-21T11:09:47.658-10:002016-08-21T11:09:47.658-10:00I keep seeing "The Couple Next Door" eve...I keep seeing "The Couple Next Door" everywhere all of a sudden!

I admit to having been intrigued by the blurb and the hype last month, and had added it to my wishlist, but all that depressing stuff going on sounds over the top.
