From the city, Cornelia Brown moves to the suburbs and a totally different way of life. There she encounters a wide variety of characters, from her snooty neighbor Piper and her cancer-stricken friend Elizabeth, to her new friend Lake and her son Dev. They all come together to share a secret that threatens the friendships of everyone.
I started reading this in the emergency room with Mitch one night and finished all half before he was discharged. Not that he was there a long time, but because once I started it, I really couldn't put it down. Piper, who starts off as the woman you love to hate, becomes a well-drawn character that eventually you come to understand. Cornelia is easy to relate to as the new girl in town, with all her insecurities and fumbles through the neighborhood hierarchy. And Lake is a woman with secrets that even she isn't sure what to do with.
This was a good read and I really enjoyed it. It's been sitting on my shelf for a while and I'm glad I grabbed it on the way to the hospital.
